JB Fisher has exceeded all of our expectations. The staff — from leadership to teachers — are deeply invested in the whole child, meeting kids where they are and embracing learning differences without expecting them to fit a mold. The school’s diversity creates real, daily opportunities for my child

The principal is a caring and kind-hearted individual who cares about every student in the entire school. I should know because I attended this school in elementary school. The teachers work
Posted by a community member on 1/29/2014This is an amazing school. From the small class sizes to the personal attention from the faculty, staff and administration. Fisher is a family that truly cares about the best for its students. Parents, grandparents, and extended family can all be seen at school helping out on any given day. I love t

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBon Air Elementary is a pretty special place. This is the 3rd year our kid has attended and we really appreciate the little community that has been built around the school. There are a group of very active parents and PTA which has helped enrich the school experience with extra activities like Pizza and Pumpkins in October or Field Day at the end of the year. Volunteers also help lead run club every Wednesday. While there are a lot of activities, you can choose your adventure. There doesn't feel the competitive pressure of needing to keep up with other families.Parent Review7mo ago - Crestwood Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreenfield Elementary. The principal is very pleasant, has a genuine smile and says hello.The person in charge of making sure the kids go the the correct vehicle needs to pay a little more attention.Another thing I observed is some parents come on the school grounds half naked. Backs, stomach showing and some have no bras on. Wow, I have never seen anything like that in Chesterfield before. For a minute I thought I was in the hood in Richmond.Parent Review10mo ago - Robious Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are wonderful, but the students and the principal are the problem, especially if you're coloured, queer, and/or a minority. Students use slurs, such as the R word, often. If you are not popular, you become the next headline of gossip; everyone knows everyone, whether good or bad.Student Review1mo ago - Richmond Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhile our daughter was at RMS from K-8, we always knew she was exactly where she needed to be, and that she was receiving an excellent well-rounded education. Now as a proud parent of an RMS graduate, we are able to see the benefits of her time at RMS through a different lens. She was prepared to meet the challenges of high school. She has practical skills, critical thinking skills, and self-reflection abilities that are actively benefiting her high school journey, in addition to be fully prepared for the academic rigor of her classes. She understands the value of service and leadership. We highly recommend Richmond Montessori and are grateful for all the educators at RMS.Parent Review5mo ago - Collegiate School
