Rosendale School

I’m honestly really impressed with the school. They do a fantastic job of teaching not only the traditional 8 elements in school, but have a hands on garden the kids tend to, a growing fruit orchard the kids help plant, maple trees they will tap for syrup, teach about composting, meditation, kindness, safety (emotional and physical)… Many school could take a huge tip from what they have going on there!

Paige Elementary is a place where I’ve witnessed, firsthand, a cultivation of love and genius. Dr. Jean-Pierre’s vision of creating a collaborative and cooperative school community is becoming a reality each year despite challenges. All families, every parent, student, and staff member counts. Not only is it inspiring to observe students’ learning but, at the same time, educators learning from their students. Overall, how they learn. What’s working is a growth mindset that’s geared towards how we all can improve in establishing a school environment that is engaging educationally & conducive to learning. I’m proud to be a part of the Paige Panda Family and SCSD that is thriving together towards academic excellence!

0 stars across the board for this school. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE, PLEASE. Not an Islamic environment at all. The teachers are so disrespectful and do not have any form of empathy for the students. The way they speak to the students is shocking. Do not believe what they say on their website; no extracurricular classes, no real Quran learning here... What they do is reduce students' self-esteem and self-worth to the ground. The students are eating their lunch in their classrooms. They use their funds for nonsense in that building instead of fixing the place up. They have a lot of mice/rats. Higher grades are taught by other students. I am begging parents do not send their children here. Do not spend a penny here. Half the parents who send their kids here have no clue what is actually happening because they do not speak to their kids. They think "I sent them to an Islamic school and that is it" NOPE not enough!! They have turned off Google reviews for a reason, this is not a 4.5 out of 5 school at all. Please send them somewhere else. Better education and their grades will be better elsewhere. Teachers are not qualified to teach at this school. You have the same horrible teachers/staff from 20 years ago. I hope the administration reads this. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

I’m very happy with my child’s experience at St. Kateri’s. How many kids do you know who get up set when there is a snow day? I don’t know many. But that is how my daughter feels. She is so happy to get back to her teacher and friends every day. I feel she is truly cared about at this school. Not only are the teachers caring, but the principal has to be one of the kindest and caring people I have ever met. It is clear that her number 1 priority is the well being of ALL the students at this school. I feel lucky that my daughter has so many caring people around her at school. And to me that is the most important thing. Her feeling of being safe and happy at school.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for your outstanding work and dedication to the students at Brown School. The teachers are hands down the most dedicated, caring, and growth focus team around town.
