Posted by a teacher on 3/25/2021School is drained of resource due to corupt local politics. There is no ac in the building and towards the end of the school year people would faint from heat exhaustion. We would occasionally be sent home if there student would collapse from heat exhaustion.
Posted by a student on 8/29/2020The students are lazy which is understandable considering the type of parenting you notice
Posted by a community member on 6/27/2017Garfield High School is a god awful school. It is over populated and the teachers there are horrible. I have not met any teacher that would actually stand in front of the classroom and teach, rather, they read notes from broken smart-boards, notes that you can find online. While students are passing

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal lacks leadership. She has no control over her staff, who are great, but a few need to work on compassion skills when it comes to children and lack respect when it comes to parents, but the principal is a large majority of all these, those who lack leadership lack of staff.Other Review3mo ago - Columbus School No 8

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRainbow Montessori in Clifton has been a blessing for our family. My children are not only learning—they are growing into confident, curious, and kind little humans because they are truly loved here. The teachers treat every child with patience, warmth, and genuine care, and it shows in the way my kids run into school every morning with excitement.Academically, the Montessori approach has helped them become independent and proud of their work. But what means the most to me is how safe and supported they feel. Their teachers celebrate their strengths, guide them through challenges, and make them feel seen and valued every single day.As a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are in a place where they are both learning and deeply cared for. Rainbow Montessori has given my children the foundation and the heart to thrive, and I’m endlessly grateful for that.Other Review6mo ago - Northeast Christian Academy
