Read what parents are saying about Orchard Hill Elementary SchoolJust a super horrible experience in this school and with the teachers. They seem to target certain kids and know nothing other than complaining to parents constantly.The support even for neurotypical kids is not that good. Very crowded , inconvenient start and end times for the school. 9:30- 4:30 ( almost like office timings) and school buses run late too.The teachers are so unwelcoming, never respond to emails , don’t understand young minds at all. Despite rising cases ,the school administration is ready to have in person sessions and never proactive. The seating arrangements in class are so inconvenient/unsafe for kids ( these are 6-8 yr olds) !! They are made to sit in a square like seating with a shield in front of them . There are many other schools which have spaced kids apart very well and have separate seats and tables with protective shields for each, enforce better safety procedures and care better for students. No practice workbooks( for math ) are provided and the teacher doesn’t even inform when there is a test but criticizes kids performance . Very disappointed and absolutely terrible experience specifically with second grade teachers.
Posted by a parent on 1/2/2022Wouldn’t recommend. Very bad experience for little kids starting their schooling experience here .
Posted by a parent on 9/22/2021This school is over crowded with too many people moving into Montgomery and happens to be the only elementary school from K-2. The problem I see is that the so called "6" day schedule doesn't focus on any valuable pattern of education for the kids. The emphasis on Math or writing is far less compared to other schools. Also the "no homework" policy makes it very difficult to help kids at home and understand where they are struggling. Having at least weekly homeworks for Math and writing would go a long way in improving the quality.
Posted by a parent on 9/15/2021I hated it when I went here, the teachers were so rude and the environment was not friendly whatsoever.
Posted by a community member on 5/18/2021Very good extra curricular activities and high emphasis on academics. The very best teachers and communication is very good.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been a parent at Kid Connection since 2004 and I have my fourth child going through the program now. I investigated many local preschools schools before I enrolled my first child with the program. I chose Kid Connection because of their low staff turnover, their curriculum and their kind gentle souls. They always made my children feel welcome and loved. They also run a great Kindergarten Enrichment program that extends the public Kindergarten program to a full day. My children learned more in Kid Connection's Kindergarten Enrichment program than they did in their public kindergarten day. I would definitely recommend Kid Connection for any family.Parent Review10y ago - Princeton Montessori School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been at Princeton Montessori School for over 10 years. She started in the Toddler program and is now in the Middle School. Words cannot express how lucky we feel to have found Pmonts, and how appreciative we are of their exemplary staff, facilities, methods of teaching, and overall curriculum which also includes art, music, theater, and after school programs, of which our favorite was a book club. Pmonts has fostered an advanced level of independence in my daughter with school work and home responsibilities. They teach and expect mutual respect among teachers and students. The program teachers and Head of School are always available to discuss any concerns, and they genuinely believe in the curriculum, and care for the children's welfare. When my daughter was in 4th grade, I remember speaking to a friend who is a math teacher in our local school district about what children are learning at that age in math. She was surprised to learn that my daughter was already a year ahead in learning from the public school curriculum. Princeton Montessori School has given my daughter a great education and has allowed her to pursue her own interests while nurturing respect, self motivation and self discipline. Princeton Montessori School has truly been my daughter's home away from home, and we will miss it after 8th grade!Parent Review3y ago - The Learning Experience
