Benjamin Franklin Elementary And Early Learning Ce

My son has been at County Line for 5 years and has had an extraordinary experience. The teachers are passionate about what they do, the school does a lot of neat events (marathon, festivals, concerts, carnival) and the Principal is involved and engaged. Even the bus drivers are amazing. I sincerely thought our Germantown schools were 9/10 ... and I knowbmy friends and neighbors feel the same. Dont let these ratings deter you from a great experience.

I was absolutely outraged when the district changed our elementary school to Shady Lane. I had heard some pretty unflattering things about the school in the early 2000s when my son was in kindergarten, and I was absolutely relieved when he was assigned to Ben Franklin. Now fast-forward 12 years, and I have my little girl in the same school district - only her school was Shady Lane. Naturally, I started purchasing flashcards and workbooks to make up for what I believed would be a deficit in teaching, and I agonized over 100 different things that could go wrong in a school with such a crummy rep. I also should mention that we are a mixed-race family. We had had a bad experience with an incredibly racist teacher 9 years ago in this same school district (I should mention that she was dealt with harshly and swiftly by the administration). This meant that I had the additional worry about how my child would be treated when no one is looking. Well, I have to tell you it was all for naught. With a new Superintendent and a new Principal, heck, even an update to the actual school building - the experience has been nearly perfect. My daughter is happy and has adjusted well to her first year in kindergarten. And she loves her teacher. My only complaint was the lack of communication (I had called about testing and didn't receive a call back until after the fact) at the beginning of the school year. And since this is the Year of COVID - meh, I think I can overlook that minor slight. If you're at all considering this school, go for it. We are impressed with the changes, the staff's friendliness, the quality of the education, and the overall experience. Goooooooo Shady Lane!

While considering Lutheran schools for our daughter, we toured Grace Lutheran School in the summer of 2024. My daughter instantly connected with the kindergarten teacher. My wife, who had been skeptical, liked her immediately as well. It didn’t take long before we decided to send our daughter there.From caring teachers and staff who treat the children with love, outstanding communication, and even a wonderful hot lunch, Grace is a phenomenal school and after her first year (5K) we could not be more delighted with the choice we made.In every aspect of her education, we feel connected and informed. Staff is very responsive, other families are welcoming and, even as a small school, resources are allocated to make sure children have what they need. The progress my daughter made over the year is phenomenal and we look forward to the years ahead.It should also be mentioned that Grace has affordable extended care and summer programs available for kids.

As the current principal of St. Mary Parish School, I want to personally invite families to take a fresh look at all the exciting changes happening in our community. We are in a season of intentional growth and renewal. Our team has been working tirelessly to build a culture rooted in excellence, faith, and joy.Our new mission—St. Mary Parish School creates Catholic leaders through academic excellence, supporting diverse learners, and seeing Jesus in every person—is more than just a statement. It’s a living commitment to honoring each child’s unique gifts and challenges. We’re expanding our ability to support students with ADHD, anxiety, autism, dyslexia, and speech needs through the addition of an in-house interventionist and on-site speech services. At the same time, we’re committed to challenging our high-level learners and ensuring that every student thrives in a safe, welcoming, and faith-filled environment.Thanks to our vibrant STEAM Lab, we’re bringing learning to life through modern, collaborative, and data-informed instruction. We’re building confidence and competence in students by meeting them where they are—and helping them soar.If you’ve been away from St. Mary’s for a while, I invite you to come see what’s new. You’ll find a renewed energy, a dedicated and trained staff, and a community that’s deeply committed to doing what’s best for kids. We’re not just educating students—we’re forming future leaders grounded in faith, character, and compassion.

Attending Calvary for a couple of years, I felt I missed a ton. They don't have all the sports option or AP/Honor classes. Not a lot of kids at all and the number is steadily decreasing. There are not a lot of people to choose for friends. I would not recommend this school. I did not have a good experience here at all and am so glad I left. I wish I would of left sooner!! The teachers definitely show major favoritism.
