Omg where do I start, first of all they continuously pressure you to put your child on medication like Adderall and Ritalin at the age of six simply because they will not sit still for 8 hours. Then you reach out to them and say that you're handicap and it is extremely difficult for you to get your children back and forth to school without transportation so what do they do they say they can't help you and they ask you to pick up another kid and take them home on your way. Then because you're handicap and not able to get your kids to school like you told them they hit you with truancy even though you sent in doctor's excuses. This school is very predatory against parents they do not care what you have to say they do not listen to any of your concerns or needs you are the bad guy and you always will be in their eyes. Ever since my kids have started going here it has been a nightmare "DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS AT CONCORD ELEMENTARY IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES THAT YOU HAVE MADE."

For the last four years my boys have been students at Arlington, one being on the Autism spectrum, that right there already tells a lot as a parent. The first day we felt welcomed and supported by staff. My children have flourished in this environment, developing a love for learning that I attribute to the school's nurturing approach. Some may have different opinions on Arlington and that's ok, I'm here to let you know this 100% community school is filled with amazing teachers and staff that care about their student's well-being and growth. We lack parent engagement. A handful of dedicated parents and I started the PTO, we're proud of that! We will continue to support and help the amazing teachers, staff, and other parents and guardians keep Arlington safe and positive learning environment. Eagles!!

I have been extremely pleased with St Sylvester school. My child, currently in third grade, has attended the school since kindergarten. I have found the education to be excellent backed by core Christian values in a nurturing environment. This school year, the principal has added several optional extra-curricular activities, including monthly book club and weekly computer coding classes. In addition, the class standardized test scores consistently exceed the state average. I would highly recommend St. Sylvester School to family & friends.
