Washington International Academy

Do NOT send your child(ren) to this school. I heard of all of the amazing things Samuel W. Tucker used to be (with previous admin,) but that has long gone. Admin is way in over their heads in terms of what is going on at this school. Communication is lacking- they do not practice what they preach. They want to paint a pretty picture to parents and outsiders to hide what a mess this place is. It seems as if parents have a lot of control of what goes on here, or at least administration will give to anything a parent requests. The office staff is friendly, but it is always a mess in there. Things are misplaced, it's always "I thought he/she had it...",- no accountability. Teachers are nice and they at least seem to have each other. You can definitely tell this is not a happy place to work. Behaviors at this school are growing by the year and there is no handle on them. Counselors, support staff, and the special education department is stretched thin trying to make it through each day. Children are physically aggressive with staff members and other students and it takes a big incident for something to be done. Overall, do not send your child here and if you are looking to teach, search else ware.

Lynbrook Elementary is an exceptional school! The front office staff are consistently welcoming and eager to assist. I really appreciate the health room staff member. They are always willing to go the extra mile to help students and staff. Plus, their great smile and good sense of humor can brighten anyone's day.The administration is deeply involved in ensuring student and staff safety and providing an excellent education for every child. Their proactive classroom check-ins demonstrate genuine care and support. The teachers are outstanding, constantly innovating to elevate student learning. With a variety of engaging after-school clubs, dedicated counselors promoting well-being, and a helpful monthly Food Bank for families, Lynbrook truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend this school!

My kid attend at this school and love it. I never seen any bullying issues or misbehavior kids at this school. The school has various programs including science and maths after school programs for students. The staffs are friendly and communicate effectively with parents on daily bases on talking point app.

My children have attended MSNV and I couldn't recommend it more. Small class sizes, incredibly attentive well-trained teachers, amazing experiences in and outside school grounds. Students are kind and thoughtful, and MSNV pays attention to helping kids become well-rounded and considerate, as well as academically successful. My kids love going to school and have made amazing friends. They absorb information without realizing it and, as a result, love exploring and learning new things. The teachers' passion and excitement for learning and exploring are contagious. We have made lifelong friends in many of the parents we have met through our children.

All I can say is...DO IT! This school is incredible. The teachers are fantastic! They are so good with each of the kids, and really understand how to relate to each child on an individual basis. Their approach is not a "one size fits all," but rather, they take the time and care to figure out what each child needs and how they can best support them. Springfield academy is one in a million, and I recommend it to any parent looking for a school that teaches children values, love of learning, and wants a staff that is caring and dedicated to their child(ren)s wellbeing!
