Midland No 1

As a student in mas they struggle to use are tax dollars properly, they didn’t add air vent after complants like insane body heat in the cramped gym, and money provided parents within a timely manner it’s been more then a year. I also think they have problems when it comes to communicating. The staff has difficulty understanding the students and have proven to have sexcist judgments and the administration are very not transparent when it comes to the school and adjustments.

Great school, awesome community, and thoughtful teachers!

The teachers aren't bad it's the administration they've harrassed me for appraching the teacher about my son and for telling them that the way they treat my child is unjust. They've made multiple demeaning comments to my child in front of my face, they hire personnel that are questionable at best and their demeanor to solving problems in the classroom is absolutely horrid is like they dont care they just like to say they do. I would never ever recommend this school to anyone it is a living nightmare and my child is having nightmares so bad he's affraid to wake up alone and has even started hiding in the morning with the prospect of not having to go to school. This school needs to be investiagted and/or the people in administration and management need to be fired as nothing other than the teacher works here.

I have 2 daughters in Columbus Elementary and couldn't be more happy. My daughters are getting 100% support for their academic and outside the school activities. They are both taking a lot of time off from their regular learning to be able to follow their dreams. The school Principal and their teachers are very supportive and proud of their achievements. "We are trying to create opportunities for our students, that's wat we do here" Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. I don't know if we could do what we do in different school.

My daughter has attended this school for the last 2 years and she has learned tremendously. Her reading level is above average. The teachers are loving and caring. Love this school!

Our experience with Ridgewood Montessori School has been nothing short of exceptional.This school truly stands out for providing an education that is noticeably more advanced and thoughtfully delivered than what we have seen in many public school settings. The academic expectations are high, but they are paired with individualized support, hands-on learning, and a deep respect for how children actually learn and grow.One of the most impressive aspects of Ridgewood Montessori is the staff. The teachers are not only Montessori trained, but also fully certified New Jersey teachers. This combination of traditional certification and specialized Montessori training creates a level of expertise and professionalism that is rare to find. The classrooms are calm, purposeful, and academically rich, and it is clear that the teachers understand both child development and rigorous academic instruction.Equally important is the school’s commitment to maintaining a focused, respectful learning environment. Ridgewood Montessori takes proactive steps to ensure that all students can learn without ongoing disruptions. They prioritize a classroom culture where children feel safe, supported, and able to concentrate- something that can be challenging to consistently maintain in larger public school environments. This attention to the learning climate allows students to thrive academically and socially. As an educator myself I am thoroughly impressed everyday. The sense of community, the respect for each child as an individual, and the dedication to high standards make Ridgewood Montessori a remarkable place for children to learn. We are incredibly grateful to be part of a school that combines strong academics, professional educators, and a nurturing, orderly environment where students can truly reach their potential.

We are thrilled with our children's experience at Ben Porat Yosef! They are excited to go to school each day and have progressed year to year! They have the most amazing teachers and staff who not only clearly love their job but are extremely attuned to each child's social-emotional needs. The school spirit cant be beat and my kids say it feels like a second home!
