Bennett Elementary School

My kid is studying in Kindergarten in Ardmore. Her learnings in English, Math, Science, Social Emotional learning are great. Teachers, Principal, PE, Nurse, IEP (PT/ OT) specialists support is awesome.

I could not recommend Sherwood Forest Elementary School more!! I went to Sherwood many years ago, and when I had to opportunity to buy a house in my old neighborhood, I jumped at the opportunity. The teachers and administrators genuinely care, and the amount of support offered to students and their families is unmatched. Obviously, we all hope our children never fall behind or need additional social or emotional support, but if that’s ever the case, Sherwood has the resources and the right professionals to be able to help your child. Likewise, if your student is advanced and needs to be challenged, Sherwood teachers and staff will meet your child where they are. The overall community within this school is incredible, and I have yet to meet a family that was disappointed with their decision to have their kids attend Sherwood. If concerned about test scores, don’t be. Sherwood is incredibly diverse in all aspects and your child will have the opportunity to learn and grow alongside friends learning English and Spanish in the dual language program, Gen Ed English, and those with disabilities learning in the fully integrated Pacific Program. Sherwood has also recently become a STEAM school, which will give students new and innovative opportunities to learn science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics that are unique to only a couple of schools in the district. Again, I could not recommend Sherwood more and will be so sad when it’s time for us to say goodbye

I totally regret sending my kid to this school. While some of the teachers (music, art) are very good, vast majority offer downright vile toxicity to the kids and parents. We were hoping new grade, new teacher would change things - but it has gotten order of magnitude worse. Expect to be told things like "in my x years of experience, no kid behaves like this" -- right from the 2nd week of school. This is for making silly faces & such. From 6-8 year olds. Learning here is a total solo endeavor, and it is largely on parents to help their kids actually learn. The school seems like a place to go get tormented and get complaining emails from. To make it worse, parents aren't even equipped to help their kids - for instance, in their 25 page homework, they add in pages of worksheets on topics they haven't even covered in class yet. And, guess what - those pages aren't even marked as such. Parents & kids are left to their own elements wondering what to do of those.Really - avoid this school like the plague. I cannot imagine a worse and more toxic environment for little ones to deal with.

Sending our child to St. Louise School was the best decision ever. Our daughter joined the school in Kindergarten and is now in the fifth grade. I highly recommend St. Louise School to any parent looking for an all-round development for their children—an outstanding balance of academics, sports, and extra-curricular activities. I wish the school had a high school program, too.

We have been with Cascadia for 5 years (since Pre-K and have two more years to go) . We cannot be happier and love so many things about the school. The school focuses on the whole child. In other words they help with the kid's overall social emotional, character development and not just academics. Being a small school, we love the nurturing close knit community feel and the kids know all the teachers and students across all grades. We love the big playground where kids across all grades play, mingle and socialize with each other. The head of the school Mrs. Keeton knows the strengths and challenges of each student well and has their well-being and best interest in her heart. The amazing teachers partner closely with parents, share detailed progress reports twice a year and cater to the individual needs of each student. Our son has grown so much and Cascadia is his second home. We are deeply grateful to Cascadia and can't recommend the school enough.
