This has been a great school for both of our kids who are very different learners.Homework is appropriate for elementary - available but not required.Teachers have been effective in teaching our diverse learners and making them feel included and supported in the school community.
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2021This is not a school I would encourage parents to enroll their children in.
Posted by a parent on 7/22/2019Our daughter has been at Muir since Kindergarten and is now in 4th grade. We have been more than pleased with our experience at John Muir. All the teachers were a perfect fit for for our daughter - a lot of care and consideration goes into student placement from our experience. Each of her teachers
Posted by a parent on 10/9/2013John Muir Elementary is a wonderful school. My two children are thriving there and LOVE their teachers. They have both been challenged at their level and continue to develop new skills in math and reading. My first grader's reading ability has just blossomed! We have been very pleased with the schoo
Posted by a parent on 1/22/2012My kids are all at John Muir and it is an amazing, nurturing environment. Like most schools, there are some mediocre teachers, but the majority of the teachers are very involved and committed to creating a learning environment that benefits everyone, from the most advanced to those in need to seriou

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children attend this school and we’re generally very happy with it. Most of the teachers have been here over three to five years, and the past few years they have been piloting a new course called “CAMP” which stands for Curiosity, Arts, Mindfulness, and Projects. It’s a great way for students to use recycled materials to be creative. This school is so awesome that some teachers decide to return from retirement to just work here! I’ve had to reach out to the leadership and support teams and they’ve always been supportive and helpful. Only two drawbacks to the school: the building needs to be updated, but MMSD is working on that with most schools. Second being that the gifted students program barely exists and the teacher leading it has an extremely high number of students to support. The core teachers are responsive if you communicate any concerns.Parent Review8mo ago - Elm Lawn Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe education is great!, but the teachers and principal is not! The lack of communication and respect for parents is unbelievable! The lack of English when you’re trying to communicate with the teachers about students and getting weird responses back or no response at all is so unprofessional! Also, they need to have more teachers who don’t just speak Spanish. They need diversity! This saddened me because I know this is a great school the teachers are making it bad, the lack or respect and different backgrounds! The lack of communication and responses is terrible! I hope it improves or I will remove my children. This school doesn’t make every parent feel welcomed!Parent Review3y ago - High Point Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a fantastic, Christ-centered school. They are big enough to offer athletics and the arts while small enough to be a tight-knit community. Highly recommended.Other Review1y ago - Madison Waldorf School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMadison Waldorf School has taken my daughters from having such a hard time getting up in the morning, melting down before they get to the door to popping awake, taking care of themselves and their gear, and excited to be part of their classroom community. The classrooms are beautiful and have really thoughtful sensory friendly design in bright welcoming colors and natural materials. I love that the classrooms are screen-free and the students are engaging their whole self in learning, from times tables while jumping rope/double dutch, to annual class plays in each grade. Science is proving screen-free learning is more robust and I'm glad we can hold off the specter of AI a little longer.I'm learning how desirable Waldorf graduates are in higher ed, too.I love this school and surrounding community and I'm glad we found Madison Waldorf School.Parent Review4mo ago - Madison Waldorf School
