From my first contact with the staff and administration, you could tell this place was about providing a nurturing and excellent environment to the children. This school really does foster diversity. It's not just words that are used in advertisement. They foster those values in the classroom and everyone is made to feel included in all they do. In short, they practice what they preach. The academics are excellent. I'm a believer in giving children a balanced learning environment. Hundreds of hours of homework does not make a child enjoy learning. I like that there is work time and play time appropriate for the age. And honestly, at these grade levels, too much homework equates to extra work for the parents. This school chooses an appropriate amount of work for each grade level. My son has thrived since moving to this school. FLA has been a true blessing to our family. I'm so happy we found this school and I'm forever grateful to all the teachers and administrative staff. My son once again has a love for school.

All the teachers there are fantastic but our favorite has to be Mrs Carrick in third grade. She went out of her way to see to every individual child's needs and at times when my kids were struggling she really helped them get through it and they not only loved going to school again but became grade A students. I've never seen such kindness & generosity in a teacher. She is definitely an asset to the school.

In terms of academics, we are overjoyed with how much hands on learning he is doing in his own classroom and the specialty classes. Most days he comes home with marker, paint, and glue on his uniform -- a sure sign of a great day. The curriculum challenges and interests him and he's encouraged to use his imagination. The ratio of teachers to students is wonderful. When he needs help a teacher is available to guide him. But what really makes this school special is the people. From the moment you walk in you are met with smiling faces, a friendly greeting, the feeling you and your kid belongs. You can see that the teachers and the administrators are happy to be there and that feeling extends to the kids. To see my son skipping in and out of school is magical. The school becomes part of your child's and your community. There are lots of special days and activities to get the kids excited to be a part of something. If you are seeking a great education, a place your child will feel safe, and most importantly a place your child will be happy give this school a look.

As my child finishes his last year at Shenker, I thought it was only appropriate to leave a review…read more Moving to Vegas has been challenging in so many areas. Whether it has to do with education or healthcare (both of which were significantly better in Orange County). I enrolled my child at Shenker after talking to all the parents I would meet at the park in my neighborhood who would sing the school's praises. I am happy to say, Shenker lived up to my expectations. My child does not speak English as his primary language, and I was worried about how that would affect him. Also if I might add, I would get unsolicited comments from other educators concerning my refusal to speak English to my child at home. I am an educator ( I have a Masters in education and another Masters in school counseling) and I knew he would pick up English just as I did. Upon meeting with Dr. Sharon, he agreed with my approach concerning my son learning two languages, and put me at ease. My son has greatly improved academically and socially at Shenker. He is so happy to go to school, and everyone in the front office knows his name, as they do with ALL the students that attend their school. Dr. Sharon has truly been a joy to work with, and I see how much he cares for his staff and for his students at school. He knows every student's name and he works with every family to accommodate their needs. I honestly believe this school's success comes from the top down. I want to thank Shenker and Dr. Sharon for giving me peace of mind in the most important aspect of my life; my child's safety and education. Yours truly, Samvel's mom.

We love Shenker! My son has been attending the school for over a year starting at 7 months old. I…read morewas so nervous to drop him off as a baby, but Ms Debora is such an amazing caregiver. The class was organized, communicative, and I felt so at ease knowing my baby was in their hands. Now he is in the Ducklings with Ms Alyssa and I can't say enough positive things about her and her teaching style. My son has learned so much going to this school even though he has only just turned two, he is counting past 10, reading letters, coming home with new learnings every day. We are excited to continue to watch him grow and develop at Shenker.

The school only went to kinder so I had to tour schools to find the one that worked with her personality. I toured at least 10 elementary schools, some religious, some other Merryhill Schools and some public schools. Public school classes are so large and I knew it wasn't for us. Curriculum is huge to me and Merryhill is pretty unbeatable in the area. I toured a Merryhill closer to me but didn't get "that feeling". When I toured Durango fireworks went off! I know that sounds strange but the feels are unbelievable in this school! I was a stranger but every staff member welcomed my family and especially my daughter. Principals are a huge part of a school community and I've been blessed with the best at Merryhill! This location is ran by Kim Roden and she will move mountains for our kids. Her personality is 1 in a million and the teachers and staff are the same . We are half way thru this school year and I know I made the right choice.

I have been part of the Doral Saddle community since 2014, when my nephews first began attending,…read moreand now as a parent myself. In all of those years, I have never felt strongly enough about a school decision to leave a negative review. Unfortunately, only three weeks into this school year, I am extremely disappointed and concerned by some of the changes being made. Over summer break, the school replaced the carpet, and we have now been told that students in grades 1-8 can no longer have snack time. I genuinely do not understand how removing an opportunity for children to have a small snack during a long school day is in their best interest. Adults working an eight-hour shift are given breaks and a lunch period because we understand that people need time to eat, reset, and refocus. Why would we expect children to function differently? Hungry students are not going to be more focused or productive in the classroom. What makes this even more frustrating is that the new carpet policy appears to affect more than snack time. Classroom birthday and holiday celebrations are also being taken away or significantly limited. Lunch has been suggested as an alternative for birthday celebrations, but students already have a very short lunch period. That is hardly enough time to eat their meal, let alone pass out treats or goody bags, sing Happy Birthday, or participate in a small classroom activity. Not every family wants to simply send a goody bag home. Part of what makes elementary school special is being able to celebrate those little moments with classmates. I understand wanting to protect an investment in new carpet, but when protecting flooring begins taking priority over experiences and routines that benefit students, I think it is reasonable for parents to question whether the right decision was made. Flooring should serve the school not dictate the student experience. This is particularly disappointing because I truly love the staff at this school. I love this school enough that I am involved with the PTSO and willingly give a good amount of my free time volunteering, not only for my own children's classrooms, but for the school and its students as a whole. I would not invest that time if I did not genuinely care about this community. I have also noticed a difference in the overall atmosphere this year. Staff members seem more rushed and overwhelmed, and some of the warmth and happiness that has always made this school feel special seems to be missing. I obviously cannot speak for individual staff members or say exactly what is causing that change, but as a longtime member of this school community, the difference has been noticeable and honestly very sad to see. Meanwhile, there are areas where changes would be incredibly valuable particularly the car loop, drop-off, and pickup process. I wish the same level of attention being given to restricting snacks and classroom celebrations were being directed toward issues that have a much greater impact on families every single day. For years, I have happily supported and voted for this school as one of the best. This will be the first year that I cannot do that without hesitation. I sincerely hope the administration listens to parent feedback and reconsiders some of these decisions. I am writing this because I care about this school, its staff, and its students. After being part of this community for more than a decade, it is incredibly disappointing that this is the first time I have felt compelled to publicly express this level of concern. I truly hope this school year moves in a more positive direction and that decisions going forward prioritize what is best for the students and the people who make this school what it is.

This is a wonderful school with a truly nurturing and supportive environment. The staff create a…read morespace where students feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn, and the overall atmosphere is incredibly welcoming for both kids and families. One small piece of feedback from our personal experience is that we wish the higher-level students were challenged a bit more academically. That said, everything else about the school has been positive, and it's clear how much care goes into building such a strong, inclusive community.
