James A Dever School

As parent of a 3rd grader my experience with Shaw Avenue has been a positive one. My child started in Kindergarten and is still enrolled at Shaw with encouraging growth in academics, teacher experience, allocation of resources. Shaw boasts a strong PTA presence, open engagement from the school district and Shaw Ave administration.

I went here from 2013-2019 grades Pre K — 4 and am now a rising sophomore at my local public High School. Great education, teachers were great and I still keep in touch with a lot of until now, supportive parents & fun environment! Felt the education quality was better than what your child can receive in a normal elementary school, and when I switched to the public system in fall of 2019 (5th grade) I was miles ahead of my peers. Even ended up skipping a year in 7th and it was because of the discipline I was taught here. If you have the privilege to send your child here, definitely do it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Grace. The teachers and staff truly care about their students. My children are excited to go to school. It’s a small school with a big heart and I would love to see it grow more. They offer many opportunities for extracurricular activities, my 4th grader is writing essays and making presentations and writing in cursive! My 1st grader is doing very well and her teacher approaches her with an understanding of her learning style to optimize her learning.
