Mifflin Park El School

My children started at Cumru last year, and I'm disappointed. My children, third grade and kindergarten, were threatened by a first grader on the school bus. The little girl sent as far as saying "I'll bring a gun to school and shoot you if you telling me.". The administration was horrible in their handling of the situation. The girl continued to ride the bus and intimidate my oldest until, she's afraid to take the bus go or from school,and their was zero communication from the administration other than a "we received your complaint" note. My children's teachers were very good and deserve praise. However, I have safety concerns if this is an example of their idea of discipline.

La Salle offers a high-quality Catholic private education for a reasonable tuition compared to most private schools. This is due to the support of 2 parishes that subsidize the education for students. The curriculum is rigorous, and students are well-prepared for high school, particularly in writing, research skills, public speaking and math. The school is centered around the foundations of the Christian faith including the love of God and neighbor, the understanding of right and wrong and cultivating an environment of respect for others. The teachers are caring and treat students like family. It is a very close-knit, family-like environment that is warm and nurturing. The class sizes are small. I have 2 children in LSA (one for 8 years and the other for 4). I would suggest visiting the school to learn more and see it feels as you meet the teachers, students and families.

Millmont is a great school. It’s widely known as City of Reading #1 elementary school. The staff from principals, teachers, support staff custodians are just really good people. Must have been there for over 10-20 years. They genuinely care for the success of each student and the school overall. The location is extremely safe, it’s a residential area where most if not all own their homes. The family engagement is fun and consistent each year. Lots of educational and fun events. Small school size, not an outrageous distant teacher ratio. So where your children attend here you start to feel like a family.
