It breaks my heart to write this review. Our time at Joyner has stretched over many years. Joyner used to be a great school, very community oriented, warm, welcoming, and fun. My older child had a fantastic time there. But this isn’t the case anymore. A few years ago some redistricting occurred whic
Posted by a parent on 12/7/2025My daughter is currently in Kindergarten at Joyner and we have enjoyed the school community and especially her teachers. They are experienced and helpful at all stages. The Spanish daily class is a plus and my child has learned so much already - including how to read and write. We are very happy tha
Posted by a parent on 5/6/2019I just took these children on a 3 day field trip to Washington DC. These children were so well behaved and my hats off to the teachers, staff, parents etc. for what appears to be a quality program. These children were an honest pleasure to be with each day even though it rained almost the entire tim
Posted by a community member on 5/7/2016After 5 years at JYJ, my child is conversationally fluent in Spanish and has a very strong love of all that is school. We were so lucky to get into Joyner, as my neighbor's child sits in a cookie cutter test prep factory school doing countless worksheets and has never "loved" school. The school lost
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2014Great PTA, great parent involvement, friendly community - but when it comes down to it, due to our experience at Joyner we found it's the quality of the teachers that make the difference in a school.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had high hopes for Saint Timothy’s, but unfortunately, our experience has been mixed at best. The school has been drifting in a more liberal direction, which may not align with every family’s values. While there are some genuinely passionate teachers who care deeply about their students, the quality across the board is inconsistent. Each grade seems to have at least one teacher who is disinterested, overly authoritative, or simply not invested in teaching—more focused on control than growth.Math in the middle school is especially concerning. The curriculum feels disorganized and uninspired, and there’s little evidence of differentiation for students at different levels. There’s a particular emphasis on rigidity over learning, which makes it hard for students to thrive.Parent Review1y ago - St. David's School
