Yates Mill Elementary

We are now in my daughter's second year at Farmington Woods, where she has attended kindergarten and is now in first grade. Overall, we have had a great experience. First, I want to highlight the positives—this may be the most important indicator of a good school for me: my daughter genuinely loves going to school every day. She is excited in the mornings at drop-off and equally enthusiastic at pick-up as she shares stories about her day. As a parent, it's wonderful to see her so engaged. She also adores her teachers and insists on visiting her teacher from last year during every family school event. I appreciate her teachers as well and can see that they genuinely care about their work.The school emphasizes community values, which I value greatly. However, my daughter has faced challenges with learning, particularly in reading and spelling. Her teachers have been proactive in intervening, creating a plan, and maintaining communication with me to ensure she receives the support she needs. I am extremely grateful for their efforts.My experience with communication from staff and teachers at the school has been inconsistent, which is why I rated it a 4 out of 5. I rated the Special Education services a 3 out of 5. My daughter has struggled with speech, and her kindergarten teachers recognized this early, suggesting an evaluation for speech therapy. Unfortunately, there was a delay due to a new speech therapist transitioning into the role, so she didn’t start therapy until the last month of the school year.As we enter the second year, I have received no communication from the speech therapist, which is concerning. This lack of communication creates a disconnect and makes me feel unaware of the support my child is receiving. I don’t think it's a matter of the therapist's ability or care; rather, it seems to stem from poor communication and possible staffing issues. Overall, the positives at Farmington Woods Magnet Elementary outweigh the negatives, and we’re happy to be here.

very good school, and teachers I recommend this school

We have been attending here for the passed couple of years and are extremely happy with the level of education our child has received. The teachers are great, the curriculum challenging. There is also a high level of safety that we are pleased with. The fact that it’s a Christian school is a plus!

This school embodies their name. They seek the best for students in all aspects and offer a loving and nurturing environment for students to learn.

Learn with the Best School has been a great fit for my 4th grade son who has Asperger s Syndrome. He has been in both public school and traditional private school settings and neither have been a fit. LWTB school provides a calm, friendly atmosphere, small class size, impressive teaching staff, sensory breaks, challenging academics that match my child s needs. We are happy here!
