Just 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.

This 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.

I hated it when I went here, the teachers were so rude and the environment was not friendly whatsoever.

Very good extra curricular activities and high emphasis on academics. The very best teachers and communication is very good.
