Canfield is special. Thanks to parent participation guided by the wonderful Friends of Canfield organization, Canfield I provides a well-rounded education that goes way beyond the common core. Thanks to programs like art, gardening, p.e., drama, music and community circle the students receive a well
Posted by a parent on 5/4/2016Excellent school. My daughter just graduated 6th grade and her class going to 4 different area schools. All the kids have been placed into either G&T programs or placed in advanced level math and science. This is only because of the commitment of their teachers in elementary school. The culture of t
Posted by a parent on 6/22/2014The teachers are excellent, the upper grades are challenging and the teacher expectations are right on the mark for most kids. The lower grades could use a little more focus and guidance from the admin. The new principle and superintendent have made changes that are very welcome and frankly about ti
Posted by a parent on 1/17/2014This is a great elementary school. The staff is very caring and very well trained. I was surprised by the comments regarding not knowing where Title 1 $ is being spent because I received this. It is true BSi is done during the day but that is at most schools. This BOE and administration are always o
Posted by a parent on 10/16/2013First of all, a note to Canfield Avenue School Staff. "Please don't change what you're doing." You are already the BEST!

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI grew up in Randolph and knew I wanted to return to raise my kids here. Center Grove recently recognized as a National Blue Ribbons School and it is so deserved. From the administration to the teachers, the guiadance counselors to speech therapists, this school has the best of the best. Communications are frequent and informative, parent involvement is encouraged and the safety of the students is of top concern. I highly recommend CG!Parent Review1y ago - Marie V.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe daycare at the school is good, but the education once you enter the elementary school is very poor. The teachers aren't well trained and are unable to manage a classroom. I thought with a high teacher to student ratio that the education would be more individually focused, but because of the poor quality of the teaching staff that I and several other parents I know of experienced, the teachers are unable to handle anything other than students who sit quietly and don't move. If children as young as 4 or 5 can't sit and focus for hours on end they are punished and removed from the classroom. While some of the teachers may be emotionally supportive, others berate the children telling them that they're bad students, which destroys their self-esteem. The school refuses to acknowledge any wrong doing on the part of their teaching staff and instead engages in victim blaming.Parent Review2y ago
