I call this school my BIG MISTAKE that I made as a parent. First there is a lot of kids which increases the stress of teachers and staff. They said that is montessori. There are two teachers who really teach montessori. The rest they do not believe in the system specially the para professionals. Whe
Posted by a parent on 10/4/2025My child's teacher repeatedly tries to tell me how to parent, which is a big overstep on her part. At our conference she accused my husband of spoiling our child by not telling our child no. She didn't ask for any background information before she went on her power trip. She then shamed me for not s
Posted by a parent on 11/1/2023Riley school is very helpful to me in getting my son focused and ready for the school day. He has issues that keep him from wanting to go to school and most days he refuses but the staff and teachers at Riley do a great job at getting him to calm down and participate.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHi! I’d like to welcome any parents of Allen Field to email me at thrivemke@gmail.com if you would like to improve the success of the school. Please know that I’m working with school teachers and board members and we have some expectations for our admins that we would like to see fulfilled. We need an active PTO and we need to make sure that everyone feels comfortable to decide whatever they want for their future as long as they are free to learn.Other Review10mo ago - La Causa Charter School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageParkside is a really good school because it’s fun, welcoming, and helps students learn in cool ways. One of my favorite memories was the Color Run because everyone got covered in bright powder and it felt like a big celebration. The talent show was also amazing since people got to sing, dance, and show their talents in front of the whole school, which was really inspiring. The spelling bee was exciting too, and it showed how hard students study and support each other. In class, teachers make lessons interesting with group projects, hands-on activities, and fun discussions that make learning easier to understand. Overall, Parkside is a great place to make friends, try new things, and have awesome school experiences.Student Review2mo ago - Downtown Montessori Academy

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy Chid has been attending DMA for the last 6 years and we love it. Every time I drop him off at school, I feel like I am dropping him off with family. They also are great at giving him more time in the areas where he has been struggling, which is reading. I am not sure he would have received as much one on one time if he was at a much larger school. Also with being a smaller school, means a smaller tight community with other families.Parent Review1y ago - Victory Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is bad for your children, my three kids went here and never learned anything new. My kids were on a higher academic level, but they pushed their level back for the other students. One of my oldest got bullied and they didn’t do anything about it.Parent Review7mo ago - St. Josaphat Parish School
