School Reviews

My kids (Kindergarten {Mrs. Toms} and 5th grade {Mrs. Adler}) came to this school after two years at a Charter School. The difference is night and day. The Administrative Team is the best I've ever seen. The Prinicpal, Vice Principal, and Head Teacher are extremely responsive, organized, and easy to speak to. They are always outside in the morning greeting students and parents, they keep the students in line and have everything under control. The teachers always ask parents to participate in the classroom and take time to talk to us every morning when we drop them off. I cannot say enough good things about this school, do not hesitate to enroll your child immediately. Additionally, my Kindergartener was extremely shy before starting at this school, but not anymore. He has started to sing and dance in public, he talks to people, tells jokes, and has become so much more confident. he even "plays" the piano and violin now. I am thankful every day that we made the decision to enroll our kids in Philip Shore.
