Stinson Elementary School

My son was bullied everyday at this school even by his Teacher

The teachers are dedicated and truly care about my daughter’s growth and performance. They pay attention to each child individually and keep them engaged and encouraged. My daughter loves the school and I can tell it’s because of the faculty and other students.

School staff are very helpful to the student and the parent.

My family has been with this school in the Montessori program for five years now, and I recommend it. I can't speak for the traditional half of the school, but we LOVE the Montessori! The teachers are incredible; engaging, understanding, inspiring. Love, love, love, the Montessori. There's very little/no homework because of the MOntessori method. Ocassionally depending on the teacher you'll have "read 20 min a day" type of homework, or a child may be asked to finish some work over the weekend that they hadn't finished during school hours that week. But overall homework is minimal, hallelujah. The campus is hyper-safe. The admin are VERY careful with outsiders, to the point they don't allow afterschool clubs/sports and they don't allow people during the day to eat lunch with their child/visit classrooms/be a "room parent" and help teachers, etc, unless you are on the PTA board, because they are so concerned with keeping the school safe. I love the commitment to safety, but I do wish there were clubs/sports opportunities for the kids. Surely we could find a happy medium. Maybe a parent who was willing to be fingerprinted/background checked could coach? I would love a low-pressure sport or club opportunity. The admin overall is great, and if you are diligent about getting to know them/helping the campus, they are very easy to work with. If the principal doesn't know you, it is harder to work with her and get things done. The Principal is a little grumpy. I've been around her for five years, and I've never had a particularly warm experience with her. I've overheard her speaking harshly to kids. The Vice principal and other office staff are balanced in how they interact with kids. Sometimes warm, sometimes stern; normal. The nurse is particularly warm and inclusive. We've absolutely ADORED all the specials teachers and staff! Overall great school and we've loved our experience. We just wish there were clubs ;)

Abbett will forever be in my heart. I left Shorehaven elementary after kindergarten. I came here on an Application for There BA program. It was Behavioral Assistance. The moment I and my parents walked through their doors for a tour of the school and my evaluation we knew we were welcomed. The Principle always understood my issues and also helped me resolve them. I can't say enough kind words about all my teachers. They were amazing. I had wonderful, teacher's my entire experience at Abbett. My friends can say the same. My 4th-grade teachers were the most succifencentpart of my education. I was their for my last year and 4th-grade i struggled the most. They helped me with Everything i needed and even offered turtoring. They helped me get to 5th grade at my new school. and Get to 7th here at Shrade. And using everything i know it will help me Succeed through the rest of middle school and Naaman Forest. I will be class of 2026. Im planning on going to Naaman Forest highschool because it offers really good magnet programs. And its Better than the rest of the highschools.
