Teachers here sometimes pick favorites, but from my experience, they still help other students a lot. Homework is challenging, however easy enough to do in under 30 minutes, and it’s almost impossible to be alone here, in a good way. Everyone is vastly different, playing different sports, having dif
Posted by a community member on 1/20/2025Very small school with small graduating classes. My children did very well and enjoyed the teachers and staff. Most students go on to great colleges.

Posted by a community member on 2/14/2024There is absolutely no college readiness. Students are not motivated whatsoever. Teachers pick and choose favorites and if you’re not one of them you will face consequences and reprehension. Very disorganized.
Posted by a parent on 4/6/2023Love the teachers and staff. Small town feel everyone knows each other and cares!

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy Daughters both attend this school and they are now maintaining an A average after being students here for 2 years. Their teachers maintain great communication in class tag and class dojo. The basketball team is really just fundamentals and they have cute parties for the kids throughout the school year. There was a foam party a glow in the dark party and welcome back party. My kids love this school and it’s safe.Parent Review3y ago - Battle Hill Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCF is an amazing school. I feel safe dropping off my son with caring adults. Teachers are easy to communicate with and like to keep parents involved. There are so many activities for my son to attend through the school year thankfully for the amazing PTA team. My son has special needs that are fulfilled with so much love and care. Even the lunch monitors are superb!!Parent Review5y ago - Washington Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a raised Kenilworth resident, I had fond memories of the school system and had such high hopes. With covid, we had moved back into town and with my own child attending Harding Elementary, the past 2 school years have been disheartening. The school system protects its image over the well being of the students and will always brush the most severest cases under the rug. The entire school board and school faculty LACKS diversity and we have been treated with racism and favoritism. My child has had nothing but trauma from this school and has no motivation to pursue academically. The school prefers to point fingers at my child versus taking responsibility or action towards anything/anyone else, as it’s easier than solving the actual matter. With a real estate career of my own, fair housing is not only my duty but my love for society and people. As a parent, I have not remained silent and will continue to spread awareness when it’s rightfully so. Everyone is entitled to their own, I speak solely about our experience. No child should have to feel isolated, unfavorable, and singled out due to race or privileges (in the school/town system). We will not continue to take residency or take part of the school system for the future.Parent Review3y ago - St. Theresa Grade School
