Stonegate Elementary School

Bedford Heights is a great school. The teachers care, the administrators are responsive, and the parents are involved.We love the Spanish Immersion program, although we wish that the teachers truly spoke no English to the students and required the students to use Spanish with each other in the classroom, neither of which is the case. We transferred in from a Spanish Immersion school, so perhaps our interpretation of the word “immersion” is different.We also wish there was more physical activity incorporated into the day. One solitary 30 minute recess just is not enough for children to get adequate physical activity, especially when PE class is on a rotation and not every day (and what’s up with that?!). We wish there was no assigned seating at lunch. We wish more kids would walk home from school so our kids weren’t walking by themselves. Remember when all kids walked home?! What happened?!Otherwise, an excellent neighborhood school. Parents in the area should feel fortunate to have the opportunity to send their kids to a school like this.

Both of my kids attended Donna Park, and even today every time we pass by they say, "Oh, I miss Donna Park." They loved it there, and I really enjoyed the teachers, after-school care, and various events including a multicultural night. The teachers would contact me whenever they felt the kids were having trouble and were eager to consult with me on how to help. The counselor helped my daughter, and the gifted and talented teachers are still the kids' favorites.

Best school for a child really recommend.

Shady Brook is an amazing school built on community and the inclusiveness! We absolutely love all of the teachers and staff and how they genuinely care for and support the students- it’s a special place!
