Sugar Mill Elementary School

This elementary school is a true gem. The teachers and staff really do work tirelessly to create an engaging learning environment. Despite being a small school, it fosters a strong sense of community. The PTA is incredibly active, organizing events and initiatives that bring families together and enrich the school experience.

Please do not allow your kids to attend this school. No teaching , first hand experience. Teachers cleaning teeth in classroom with a phone camera, texting always , leave kids to do what they want to in classroom ,very rude staff - principal , teachers and front staff. Teachers encourage bad behavior of students. Don’t engage in controlling it. If you are able to zone your self elsewhere pl do so.

My oldest is a current student at FBCA. We've been very pleased with the rigorous academics, the fantastic enrichment classes and teachers and, of course, benefits such as small class sizes. FBCA also has the most diverse student population of any private school option in the area that we looked into. Furthermore, we've been impressed by the balance that FBCA offers with respect to academics and a high level of participation in athletics and strong fine arts programs in order to promote an overall balanced educational environment (and great college applications).

I am a parent of a student at this school and plan to send my youngest here once he is old enough. The school has been fantastic for my student and our family. We've been thoroughly impressed with the academics and enrichment opportunities for our child and we've seen phenomenal results from the upper school students that have graduated from this school. The school does a great job of balancing rigorous academics as well as a high level of participation in sports and fine arts programs.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our daughter than what we found at Kyra’s Montessori.From the very beginning, when we moved from a different country, both Kyra and our family were welcomed so wholeheartedly. That warmth and care made such a difference in helping us settle in, and most importantly, made Kyra feel safe, happy, and at home.Every single teacher—from her toddler class through to her EC class—has been incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in her growth. They always wished the very best for her and went above and beyond to make her comfortable and confident every single day.As parents, we truly appreciated how approachable and helpful the staff has always been. No question was ever too small—they were always ready to guide us, support us, and ensure we felt informed and reassured.This Montessori has not only helped Kyra learn and grow but has also given us peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands.We are deeply grateful and would 100% recommend this school to families with children of all age groups.Thank you for everything—you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
