Southampton Elementary School

Bon 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.

Crestwood Elementary has been incredible for both of my boys. They really do take a team approach to understanding and facilitating all aspects of education. I am grateful for the staff and their continued support as we (my husband and I) are always learning how to parent two entirely different children at different age and developmental stages.

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 to learn from peers with different backgrounds, races, and languages — lessons that can’t be replicated in a book. Small classes, personalized academics, and the staff’s openness and availability make this a truly special place. I highly recommend coming to see it for yourself.

As a parent of a student at this school, I feel it’s important to share an experience prospective families should consider. After raising a concern about a statement made to students regarding differential treatment, I observed a noticeable shift in how our family was engaged by administration. Rather than continuing to address the issue collaboratively, the process shifted toward financial matters. Expectations around outstanding balances were elevated within a compressed timeframe, despite previously communicated hardship and a history of working with the school to resolve balances over time. No clear or workable payment structure was presented during that period. Ultimately, this resulted in my children being unable to continue at the school. From my perspective, the underlying concern involving my son was not resolved, and the process became increasingly focused on financial obligations rather than a collaborative path forward.
