This is an excellent school in all sense of the word. My child has already two years in this school and teachers are above and beyond. Love the school environment! My child goes to school everyday with a smile on her face…
Posted by a parent on 10/17/2022Both of my children attend Berkley and so far, both have had great experiences. My son is in his last year and I can honestly say, there have been no issues and it has been a positive experience for our entire family.

Posted by a parent on 8/22/2017I like this school. My daughter is going for last 2 years in this school and she improves a lot. I was lucky that she had Mrs schlatter as her 1st grade teacher. She is an awesome teacher. Me and my daughter like this school.
Posted by a parent on 8/1/2014Teachers here just pass kids along to the next grade even if they are struggling to keep up with the previous one. No accountability for teachers' behavior toward students, overloaded class schedule for very young kids. They go from a normal school day in second grade to a high school level schedule

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHave two children at the school and we are very happy with their performance. Their Armenian and French language abilities astound us! We are not thrilled with Common Core, math especially but not much can be done with that. All their teachers are very caring and supportive, reaching out to parents and making students feel secure and supported. Unsure why another reviewer said there were bullying issues, neither of my children complain beyond what is normal for their age. Both later explain that differences were sorted out and now they are friends with those that they felt slighted by. If you have children at this school and your children complain about bullying, remember as a parent what it was like when you were growing up, especially if you went to a public school. Support your children, teach them social skills, open their eyes to how the world works, push your children to be more creative in how they deal with classmates. If your children complain about bullying at this school, unfortunately the next school will most probably be exponentially worse for them. This is the gentlest school they will ever attend.In regards to leadership point, the principals have changed but the gentle nature of the school has been in place under both principals. Lack of leadership? Did not see that with either principal, both were driven to getting the best out of the school with the budgets they have. If there was more money, more could be done but I do not see my children suffering going to Hovnanian. Is it a panacea, no. Do I think the school board places too much time, money and effort into accreditations, yes. Fundraising at the school could be run better. All in all, the school is safe and well run academically. (Unaware that the school has resources to handle special education students-wish they could-that is why we gave a middling grade.)Parent Review3y ago - The Kids International Weekend School
