    #9 Best Public Elementary Schools in Westchester County

    Niche User: We have had an excellent experience thus far. My son comes home everyday and tells me how much he loves school. Compared to some of the other school districts I feel that our kindergarten teacher has the right ideas about homework. She gives a small amount and a week to complete. This allows for a no pressure environment. After all this is Kindergarten. Having said that my son has learned so much in just a few months!

    #19 Best Public Elementary Schools in Westchester County

    Alum: What a gift to be able to attend Chatsworth for elementary school. I had some truly wonderful teachers, especially in the upper grade levels, and extracurricular activities were truly astounding for an elementary school. Challenging yet supportive, this is a true neighborhood school and I wish more children were able to get started places like this.

    Nord Anglia International School New York

    • Private School
    • New York, NY
    • PK, K-8
    • 14 reviews

    Niche User: This is a small but super school that is part of the global family of Nord Anglia Education offering an unrivaled standard of education! Being part of this group brings many opportunities for students in academics, performing arts and sport. The teachers are the best and ensure all students are supported and challenged. Students love school and make pronominal academic progress. The school’s facilities are amazing including the classrooms, large gymnasium, new cafeteria and specialized art, dance and science facilities. The school offers something for everyone including strong academics, a sense of community and opportunities for students with its collaborations with MIT, Juilliard and UNICEF. Although the school is also part of a major NY sports league, middle school students also benefit from being able to attend a Global Games for students from many other Nord Anglia schools. I strongly recommend visiting this wonderful and welcoming school!

    The Cathedral School of St. John the Divine

    • Private School
    • New York, NY
    • K-8
    • 17 reviews

    Parent: A K-8 education at The Cathedral School of St. John the Divine is the best decision you can make for your child. Cathedral's rigorous academics, bountiful arts curriculum, and its groundbreaking identity/character/leadership programs prepare students to be articulate, confident citizens of the world. Beautiful 13-acre campus with 2 playgrounds...As a result of her experience at Cathedral, my daughter was better prepared for high school than the students at her new high school who had been at that school since K. Leadership, sports, club, and extra-curricular opportunities at Cathedral enrich the students' lives to educate the whole child. The school's 7 core values (Cooperation, Courage, Passion for Learning, Integrity, Kindness, Respect, and Responsibility) are at the heart of EVERYTHING... 6:1 student/teacher ratio...experienced, caring, creative, outstanding teachers...It's an amazing school!

    Rippowam Cisqua School

    • Private School
    • Bedford, NY
    • PK, K-9
    • 16 reviews

    Parent: Rippowam is community of educators and students who care! A challenging, relevant curriculum engages students in real world conversations and challenges. We have experienced every grade, 5-9 and could not be more impressed with the outcome for each of our (very different!) children. They are challenged, encouraged to take intellectual risks, think critically and analytically and step up to take on leadership roles. All along the way, they are supported and feel known as individuals. Their teachers know their strengths, know when to push them further and know when to adjust to their specific needs in the moment.
    Ripp empowers its students with confidence, empathy and critical analytical and communication skills (they become powerful writers and speakers). They are learn real leadership skills and leave poised to succeed in high school.
