Cars are parked all along the street and drivers tailgate you down the 15 mph school zone every morning but like to complain about speeding. This school needs to stop advertising that they have open enrollment if they can't handle the traffic they created. They need to more considerate of the neighborhood. All this despite having several school buses of their own.

My son has been going to this school since kindergarten. I've never had any issues until this year…read more Kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd grade were great, which is why I'm so thrown back. Teachers this year have extremely high expectations for 10 year old kids. The last two months the school has pointed out behavior issues with my son. My son gets bullied like crazy and nothing is done about it. The school is so quick to pointing out everything he does so he gets in trouble rather than recognizing he needs guidance to improve. I'm so disappointed how the school has been treating and dealing with my son. He doesn't want to go to school because he feels like the staff is targeting him. If your kid fits the "normal" stereotype of a kid, they will do fine at the school. If your kid struggles in anything, behavior or academically, don't waste your time sending your kid here. We won't be returning for 5th grade.

The decision to enroll our daughter at Palm Valley Montessori (PVM) back in 2012 when she was just…read morethree years old has proved to be an amazing choice for so many reasons. The school offers a genuine Montessori prepared environment with teachers that are dedicated and return year after year. The children not only learn academic skills that place them far above the performance of children at other schools, but they gain so much more from this family style/homelike setting complete with access to nature and animals. Our daughter has strengthened her sense of self-confidence, which has allowed her to develop her own personal strengths and talents. PVM also offers before/aftercare and a variety of programs (music lessons, Spanish, creative writing, art, cooking classes in full kitchen and monthly field trips). Over the past six years she has developed close friendships in a safe bully-free environment and her school has become more than a school...more like an extended family.

I also had an older child attend this school years ago who is now in high school, so it means a lot to see the same level of care and dedication continue. Mrs. Peralta goes above and beyond to make sure her students feel supported, loved, and encouraged. We are so grateful for everything she does!

Just wanted to leave a review because I wanted to warn others about this school. My child has…read moreelopement issues and requires special education but wasn't offered any help at this school. Instead I was asked informally to pick her up instead of receiving paperwork for suspensions. There was no talk of IEPs or 504s. There is no psychologist and there is no counselor at this school. I ended up taking my daughter somewhere else and now is staying at school and receiving more resources and support. Beware if your child is special, needs help with English, or etc. do not take them here.

Just because the neighborhood is nice doesn't mean the school is. The biggest regret is moving to…read morethis neighborhood. It's rated #1 I don't know how, my kids aren't excited to go to school. It was completely different at our previous school. Teachers looked happy and excited to be there. Some of the teachers look so miserable!! Especially, ARIANNA BROWN, WHOM TEACHES 1st grade! She has been every parent's nightmare!! She shouldn't be teaching at all. She does things purposefully to hurt a child's feelings it's disturbing. Once you call her out, she stunned and shocked. Teaching is not your calling. Every time I have tried to engage, she has a miserable attitude and look about her. They need to start handing out psych evaluations to these "teachers." Because who can hurt a child's feelings and feel absolutely nothing is beyond disgusting! The school district and principal did absolutely nothing when we requested to move our son out of the classroom. Our request was denied. Now my son is traumatized by ARIANNA BROWN.

My kids and I love this school! I have three children that attend MIP. One is in the 2 year old…read moreprogram, another in 2nd grade and my oldest is in 4th. My two oldest are in the same class and they all learn so much at this school. The Montessori method with its hands on, play based learning works so well for all three of my children but especially for my dyslexic daughter. I tried public school first with my oldest daughter and it was a total nightmare. Homework every night in kindergarten, weekly tests nightly practice of flash cards left me with a very stressed out and unhappy 5 year old. Switching to MIP is the best decision we ever made! We have been apart of this school going on 5 years now and will be here for many more years to come. We are just waiting for the junior high program to get started so that they can stay at MIP through 8th grade.

They dont update their website in regards to their school/s being at capacity. They need a website technician and their entire staff needs immediate customer service training. Go someplace else. Where they mistreat YOU as a parent, they will NOT hesitate to treat your child in the same manner within their school system.

With all the cars blocking the road you are forced to go down the opposite lane. And you could not see a child running out from between all the cars. More important are the the busses parking in the middle of the street in a no parking zone. See the picture. Think about the children!

I have been so impressed with this school from the little details to the big things that matter…read more They are committed to keeping kids safe by only letting those on the approved pick up list show their ID's to pick up kids- IMPERATIVE in today's world. They are on top of informing parents about the status of the events, dates and information we need. They are so good about pumping the kids up for school everyday with fun music playing at the entrance and approved upperclassman opening doors for kids and saying "Have a great day!" Thought this was a 1st day of school thing but it's still going on! And from an educational standpoint I am so impressed. My girls are challenged and aided through every level of their education. They are both in the Honors class called Traditional Academy (not sure why this name when it's for all advanced students in each grade) and they are learning Spanish, moving though subjects and levels faster and I'm always kept informed about what is going to be taught. The principal at this school is incredible and is made for this job. He is kind, fun, caring and involved. He is high giving kids, giving smiles on the corner waving parents into school in the morning and sitting with the kids at lunch. You won't find a better school! Verrado Elementary is IT! I couldn't be happier.

Knight Academy sent me my 2020 tax information showing at the end of the year I had a negative balance of -280.00. When I emailed back to ask if I was owed a refund staff emailed back and stated that- they would get back to me the next day. I waited a few weeks figuring they were busy. I sent a follow up email and got no response. I gave it a few more days then when I tried to call about the issue on a Friday afternoon my call went to voicemail. 7 times. It is VERY strange for a daycare to not answer in the middle of a Friday so that's when I realized they were avoiding me. After blocking my number I was able to get a hold of someone who told me to contact the director. I tried to email director for a simple question of "Am I owed a refund or not?" and it bounced back which has never happened to my emails to them before. Based off all this I would not recommend this company to anyone I know.

This is a review for Knight Academy management - we've heard the teachers who run the before and…read moreafter school programs are lovely. Our experience with Knight Academy has been abysmal. Knight Academy notified TOPA parents of a spring break camp on 3/2 with spring break starting on 3/6. That should have been the first red flag. But we signed our daughter up thinking it would be fun for her to hang out with her classmates at Knight Academy on her campus during the week-long spring break camp. The spring break camp confirmation email was riddled with spelling errors and conflicting information about where the camp would be held. Pretty sketchy coming from an "educational academy". Second red flag. Then on Sunday morning - the day before the first day of spring break camp -we get an email that camp had been cancelled due to lack of registrations. What did they think would happen when they notify parents four days before camp begins that there's even going to be a camp?? Third red flag. Their camp cancellation notice also stated that refunds had been processed and would be received in 5-7 business days. We're on business day 19 and still haven't received a refund. Four red flags now... The icing on the cake and the fifth and final red flag was the additional notification we received through their payment system - Active Advantage - that we had been signed up for a MONTHLY Active.com membership for $89.95 that we did not agree to (google active advantage membership scam if you want details). Thus ensued a way too complicated series of emails to Active Advantage's customer service department demanding that the membership we "agreed to" be canceled. Turns out the "join" button is pre-selected "yes" when you check out. If you don't catch it and de-select you're in for a fun ride and out $90/month. Pretty gross business practice IMHO. Avoid this place unless you have no alternatives. As stated at the top - we've heard wonderful things about the teachers but management at Knight Academy needs to get it together if they want to be taken seriously as an "educational academy".
