    We have loved our experience at LePort for the almost 2 years we've been there. We've been…read morefortunate to have Ms. Fells for infant care, who's presence immediately calmed my nerves and was the most compassionate and understanding on those hard drop off days. She and her team provided such a nurturing environment from ages 12-18 months as we watched our son grow. Then he had Ms. Gallo from 18-22 months. She became like family with how much our son trusted her and how much we could tell she truly cared about him. Her love and guidance was truly astonishing and we were blown away with how much he learned; he wouldn't be the amazing toddler he is today without her! Not only are the staff the nicest people, they truly care about each individual and the teaching and progress of each child. This includes the "morning care" and "after care" staff who take their jobs so incredibly seriously and bond with each and every kid. My son always runs up at the end of the day with the biggest smile on his face and tells me he had the best day. Not being with your child all day is hard but we've never once questioned our choice with LePort!

    We've been grateful for our son's teachers and staff who work with him throughout the year. We…read moreappreciate the time and effort Mr. DeJesus and Ms. Kingman have put into their classroom and their students. Ms. Boatman, who is such a wonderful part of the elementary team, teaches PE and works with the children in other areas as well, and she brings such a positive energy to the school. Our son really enjoys being around her and it's clear how much she cares about the students. We also appreciate the school's communication with families and the many staff members who contribute to creating a supportive school community. We're thankful for everyone who plays a role in making our son's school experience a positive one!

    Nov,7 @ 7:45 AM The clerk Amy, Was very rude this morning…read more So me & my family member came into the office so they can get a copy of the letter that goes into her kids flies. I didn't get the name of the nice lady that was taken care of my family member, all my family member was doing was trying to explain to the lady what the letter was about. SO Amy came right over and started yelling "stop being rude stop been rude" with such an aggressive attitude I had to look up & say how is she being rude by her explaining what the letter was about. She was yelling , and walked back by her desk looking mean & rolling her eyes very ,very unprofessional This is really getting out of hand at this school . I will advise whoever is the head person at this school needs to look into the camera on this date and see how Amy the clerk lady was acting.

    if there was an option to put 0 stars, I would. I went here from 2nd to 5th grade. (graduated 2021)…read moreWhile I was there, i was bullied all the years i was there. When i told the supervisors out at recess, they just brushed it off. But one time, towards the end of lunch, this kid flipped me off and then we had to go back to class. When i told my teacher, she asked, "why didn't you tell a supervisor?" I was in 4th grade, my teacher was Mrs Donna Fetta. She also confiscated my huge pencil that i had brought in as a joke and she never gave it back. The only teachers i enjoyed there was Ms Heather, Mr Wagner, and Mrs P but they don't work there anymore. The first year i was there, we had a nice firm principal that was fair and treated everyone equal. But then this guy principal came the next year, i think his name was Mr Johnson. He was horrible, he didn't do ANYTHING about the conflict happening at his school. My little brother in like 2023 when he was in 4th grade caught kids VAPING and bringing sharp objects to school and did almost absolutely nothing. I think he suspended her for like 2 days, that's it. The kids were a holes and the teachers did not care, nor did the supervisors at recess. This one supervisor was a biatch to me a lot, she had her son going to this school as well. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! DONT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR CHILD TO HATE THEIR SCHOOL LIFE AND DREAD COMING TO SCHOOL!!!!! Shame on you, Peterson. TREAT YOUR STUDENTS LIKE HUMAN BEINGS

    I wish I should have read the reviews about this school before paying registration fee to apply for…read moremy 5 years old son. This is not a good school when it comes to assessment tests ( Which not simply testing whether your kids can communicate back and forth or not) for a kindergarten level. I feel like I got scam, they should have made a video to talk about the assessment tests, warnings for the parents to consider. I don't think the kids will be happy learning anything here. This place is all about money and intense competitions. The era of AI will eliminate these corrupted educations, absolutely bring no values to the kids. Parents nowadays are too busy and think paying a lot means good results.

    My son is a first grader at Pegasus, and he thrives there. He has been learning in an atmosphere…read morethat nurtures curiosity and exploration. His teachers are enthusiastic and caring. There is one teacher for every ten kids in the classroom, allowing for individual attention. Any behavioral problems are quickly addressed and resolved in a constructive manner that equips students with tools to handle future conflicts. I hate to admit this, but when I compare the way Pegasus first graders interact during free play to the way his public school friends interact, I see a dramatic difference. Pegasus kids are problem solvers; they calm conflicts and seek solutions. Maybe it's a selection bias at the admissions level, but in the end, who cares? I'm proud of my child on the playground and of what he has learned academically. Fingers crossed this continues in his future experiences.

    If you are looking for a supportive and fair school environment, this may not be the right fit…read more While there are a few exceptions, my experience with specific teachers for both of my children was incredibly frustrating.Both of my kids were high-achieving GATE students, yet their grades dropped significantly upon enrolling at Dwyer. For example, one teacher gave my daughter an 89.9% in a class and rounded it down to a "B," dropping her GPA from a 3.8 to a 3.6.Additionally, the school's handling of citizenship grades and disciplinary rules felt targeted. My daughter, who maintained a 4.0, received an "N" in citizenship--disqualifying her from honors recognition--on the exact same day her teacher chased her down the hall for dress coding, despite other students wearing the same outfit without issue.When we transferred my son to another school, he immediately returned to earning "A's" in harder classes. Unfortunately, attempts to resolve these issues with the principal and the school board were met with indifference, and I know many other families with similar experiences. It appears this school environment only works well if parents are heavily involved in volunteering, staff gifting, and willing to accept unfair treatment without pushing back, as teachers may take frustrations out on the students.

The staff are the most kind and helpful people around, from the front office, to the amazing teachers, Principal and custodian staff. They are there to support all the kids in the school and it shows! The PTA is nothing like I have ever seen! Their commitment to providing these kids with fun, educational and engaging programs and activities throughout the year is magical. Family movie nights, jog a thon festivities, beautiful school murals, Best Foot Forward reading program, Book Fairs, Red Ribbon Week and Art Masters it is truly amazing! Reading is a huge priority at Moffett!!! They are always helping foster a love of reading in kids through their one of a kind BFF reading program (I can honestly say my kids LOVE for reading started with this program), their outstanding and caring librarian and from all the Teachers! I always see kids with a book in hand, it is wonderful. The art programs at this school are nothing I have ever seen at an Elementary level. The choir and music teacher puts on the most incredible performances, including a full Musical at the end of the year! The lion King, Aladdin, Dr Seuss, and Finding Nemo to name a few! Her dedication to making music fun and giving kids a chance to gain confidence through music is so inspiring and she is loved by all the kids! Their art program and art room at Moffett is so unique and gives kids a place to create and experiment and really foster their creative brain with pottery/sculpting, painting and printmaking. I could go on and on but I have loved watching my kids grow in confidence, knowledge, kindness and creativity through the years from the incredible staff, parents and students at Moffett!

My 6th grader still goes back and visits his teachers from time to time. Every single teacher is amazing. No requests needed. I'm going to miss this era of their education. As a parent there were so many opportunities to volunteer on campus and in the classroom. The PTA hosts so many extra circulars too. Made it easy to get to know the other parents and families at the school too. Thank you Mr. Holbrook, Mrs. Brady and the entire staff for teaching, loving and mentoring my boys.
