Our Lady Of Mt Carmel School

This is our second school year here and by far the best school. There isn’t a ton of homework, my children can usually be done all of their homework in 10-15 minutes at max. The communication among the teachers, the principal, as well as the “special” teachers is amazing. I can email or call and get a response in minutes. They allow us and the teacher additional communication through an app. The teachers also send photos here and there so you can see your child throughout the day or a cool activity they may have done or are doing. My one child has a 504 plan, some difficulties and differences and this school has handled it all and communicated effectively throughout. Thus far I have not had any problems with safety, or harsh punishments within the school or the community. The community as a whole is so welcoming and very involved through and through. They allow so many opportunities for families and parents to be involved throughout the year between trips, fun days or even just reading a story to the children sometimes. Best school, hands down.

I use to be a student in Clementon Elementary school and I can whole heartedly say if you have the choice of another school, CHOOSE IT. The principal is disliked by his staff & students, the school is constantly filled with a horrendous sewage smell, the students are not safely kept from the littles in the hall (which is dangerous for both as a tripping hazard) and more. The teachers though are excellent! I cannot say enough about how amazing the teachers are in the midst of the chaos, while as you get into the older grades the teachers will NOT care for you or your child as much if they are 1. shy 2. struggling with grades (they are honestly ignored because you will NOT be held back) and 3. being bullied. If your student is struggling it’s not a problem at all because they won’t be held back or provided any extra support.

Excellent in all aspects of elementary education!
