Hyde Park School

This is our first year at Riverview East Academy. My child is a 7th grader. So far, we love this place. My daughter is on the Volleyball team. The Principle, Teachers, Coaches and the Security are amazing. They have all made me, my child and my family feel welcome like we have been there for years. I also love the fact that there is a zero tolerance for Bullying and Principle Wolf and her staff make sure that the children stay safe and focused on learning. So happy to be apart of the Riverview East family.

Teachers teach good and they also provide free lunch and breakfast have five different languages Chinese,Arabic,Japanese, and also Russian,Esl.

We have 2 kids at WAE, and we are very pleased with the school. One child receives special ed services, and I can say that the intervention specialist and speech therapist are both great. We love most of the teachers as well. It's a small school, which gives it a great community feel.

Who is this school for? Families in which mothers/fathers take an active/positive part in raising their children.If you are reading this review then I assume you are a grownup who takes your job seriously (discipline, setting limits, educating, and all that good stuff, for physical and intellectual and spiritual development of your children). If I am correct, and you are that kind of person, then you will find a great source of support in St. Cecilia Elementary School!!! Mike Goedde the principal is one of the good ones, for sure! He understands what children need in order to truly thrive, and he is absolutely committed to his mission. St. Cecilia as a parish has a heart of gold; it's a beautifully faithful community, really centered around God. Who might want to pass on this school? Those mothers/fathers who are not open to the teachings of the Catholic church.Students get a period of religious education every single school day, plus they attend Mass once/week. I think sometimes problems come up when parents consider themselves "tolerant" rather than open. Feelings of hostility or defensiveness have a tendency to surface, on the part of those "tolerant" parents, when cultural differences arise.

We have loved this school for our kids so far! The teachers are very approachable and understanding, but for when necessary! The community is wonderful- plenty of opportunities to get parents together. The parent volunteer and involvement percentage is high. Small classes- which help with more focused instruction!
