Parent: My daughter excelled in Montessori School 31. The Montessori Philosophy is embraced by the staff and becomes an intrinsic part of each child. The Principal Dr. Sharon Banks-Williams has her hand on the pulse of this school. She leads with grace and is an objective and fair leader. Her constant collaboration with teachers and the PTA make this school truly special. Children are confident and self motivated and the life skills they learn as they grow with the Montessori Philosophy is priceless.

Trinity Elementary School

• New Rochelle City School District, NY
• K-5
• 3 reviews

Parent: Trinity is a really great school. Mr. DiCarlo has done an exceptional job with turning the school around. The teachers, staff and assistant principal (Mrs. Morrisey-Hogans) really care about the students and take pride in their jobs.

Trinity has a very diverse student body and overall excellent learning environment. My daughter has had a fantastic experience with learning, socializing and creative expression. She truly enjoys attending Trinity and each day looks forward to going to school.

A few issues that need to be addressed are the maintenance/upkeep of the school's property. The Board of Education really needs to address the landscaping and other interior/exterior property issues such as, painting, installing new doors, repair of exterior masonry and the construction of a new playground. Other than that, it's a great school.

Keep up the fantastic work, Trinity!!!

Alum: The only K-12 Montessori school around and also one of the only high schools that offer an intersession program. Which is where students pick a trip in the beginning of the school year, and mid year they go on fun and educational trips, some out of the state and some even out of the country!

Pocantico Hills Central School

• Public School
• Sleepy Hollow, NY
• PK, K-8
• 4 reviews

Alum: As a graduate of Pocantico Hills, I would like to say how enjoyable by ten-year experience was there. With a graduating class of 31, everyone was extremely tight-nit and there were so many different personalities and cultures and diversity among us. You could learn something new from every one of us every single day if you had to. The food was good and the teachers ensured that you were comfortable and offered help during lunch and after school. They got to know their students. There were so many great clubs at Pocantico Hills and if you wanted to, you could start your own! The facility is beautiful and even has its own pool and garden in which the students can experience. I’m glad I’m getting both the experience of a small school and and larger school in high school. Pocantico Hills is an amazing school to send your child to.
