Fairfield Compass Elementary

Some of staff is very jaded by their own personal life views and imposed them on children. There are some AWESOME teachers here Marlow and Marquette to be specific. 2nd grade teacher Persiani is by far thee worst in my experience. She was not effective in her teaching abilities like Marlow and Marquette and lacked patience. Like any school there is good and bad. PTA is awesome. Administration (principal more lack luster assistant principal much better).

I dont believe this school cares about a childs needs. Read the reviews on Google. They lack a caring, supportive, and a nurturing environment. Children should feel loved, safe, and wanted. They will tell you they will work with your child if they need additional help, that is not true. There was no plan to help my child succeed. Their solution was to take the easy way out, and get him out of their program because he needed more attention. Teacher-The role of a teacher is to inspire, motivate, encourage and educate learners. Techers can have a lasting effect on our children good or bad. It is truly sad that there are individuals who lack these skills working in an educational environment.

My son has gone to Linden from Kindergarten until the present. He is a gifted child, extremely intelligent. They recognized it early and have accommodated accordingly with more challenging work than the typical student in his grade, always keeping in touch with us with great communication. Every teacher he has had, along with the administrative staff have always been great at communicating and coming up with plans to help him achieve his potential and not become bored or dejected about school.I've also, up to this point, noticed they have a good balance of school and home. They don't send him home with homework, but it does occasionally happen and it's usually leading up to an important test. That's one thing I always stress to teachers; let them be kids too. There's no need to be at school for 7 hours a day, only to come home and have to do more school work every night. Kids need to have free time and play.I have nothing but good things to say about Linden Elementary and it's staff. They've been amazing.
