Parent: My daughter has shown drastic improvement from Pre-K to Kindergarten. She is reading above other kids her age that aren't in Stamford Charter School. My brother is also another student there and he scored a perfect score on the state test this past spring. The faculty is amazing and always supportive. They take their children's learning very serious, which as a parent, is crucial.... Read 6 reviews

Middle School Student: I went to East school when I was little and I remember having a great experience every grade I loved all my teachers. Now my brother and sister go there they always come home with new art they did or new skills they learned in gym. East School has so many different events I remember the Fall Fair every fall, I was in the Iditarod and enjoyed being a musher! I made so many friends there when I was little that are still my friends till this day. I love going back every year and seeing my old teachers, and new ones. East School will stay a very special place in my heart.... Read 1 review

Parent: Sidwell has provided my children with an exceptional academic experience emphasizing critical thinking and problem solving, writing and communications, and quantitative reasoning. The workload has been substantial at times, but always enriching and interesting (i.e., rarely if ever busywork) and will fully prepare students for the rigors they'll experience in college and beyond. Moreover, Sidwell has done a great job of developing my children as well informed, highly engaged, and socially conscious citizens. Strongly recommend!... Read 72 reviews

Parent: Pleased with experience . Teachers are great and my children love learning. Big emphasis placed on reading and social development. Love it that children get so much exercise/pe time -- especially good for young boys. Found administration and teachers to be very responsive and always available; communication is also excellent. One huge perk is the "afters" program that they have every day -- for a small fee, your kids can explore their personal and academic passions (or be exposed to them for the first time). One criticism is that I wish they began foreign language exposure earlier and did more for those children who are already bilingual. We toured all the schools in Greenwich and chose to live in this district. Found Riverside and OG to be too elitist for my taste.... Read 4 reviews

Parent: South School has been amazing in meeting the needs of my son who has mild special needs. The communication between the teacher, specialty teachers, & myself has be incredible. He has learned so much & has blossomed. My main issues (which may be system wide) are with art & spanish. Being able to observe the curriculum during remote learning, I was shocked to see how anti- creative ART was. It was literally a step by step, follow my direction, lesson. No artistic expression whatsoever. Spanish lessons seemed to jump all over, not having any themes or repetition to them whatsoever; which is crucial for learners in younger grades. Everything I observed in these two particular classes went against everything taught to be best practices for early learners through age 8. If it weren't for these two classes, and the fact that I did not see a single lesson come home pertaining to black history month, I would have given them 5 stars. This could be a district issue though & not just at South.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: We are very happy at Parkway. We have two children there who are in the pre-K and 1st grade respectively and we can’t say enough good things about the administration and sped dept. Mary Grandville and Jeffrey Libby run the school like a well oiled machine even though they are a fairly new team to Parkway. It is a warm and caring environment and I feel that my children are well cared for. Great PTA and parent involvement.... Read 2 reviews

Alum: Saugatuck Elementry is an amazing school! I came here in the 2nd grade, and wow, saugatuck never disappoints. The teachers and faculty are wonderful, the curriculum is challenging, and they offer support to all students. They have 2 nurses there, full time, which is amazing for students with medical conditions, and saugatuck truly helped me florish. The only thing I will say is that this school does lack diversity, in a way that almost all students are white. Besides this, most students are in the upper class, and as a middle class student I did sometimes feel left out and people did make some mean comments. But, all in all, I did feel that the pros outweighed the cons entirely, with my education always being put first.... Read 1 review

Parent: Cheshire Academy has been absolutely wonderful for our children and our family. Our children are two very different students with very different needs. The CA teachers, staff and administrators go out of their way to know and understand each student and help him/her achieve academic success. My eldest was recruited by several other prestigious boarding schools, but once we visited CA we knew it was the absolute perfect fit for us. CA not only has rigorous academic programs, excellent sports and music/arts programs, its student body is ethnically, academically and socially diverse which was a very important factor for our family. We were not at all interested in sending our children to a school that felt like country club with little diversity. My younger child had more challenges to overcome than his older sister. CA went above and beyond supporting him academically and was instrumental in deeply developing his passion and talent for music. We couldn't be happier with CA!... Read 128 reviews
