We are a single income family and where it's great they do so much with the students, it can be really hard on us sometimes to even come up with $5 extra for a field trip when every penny is being accounted for

Great school. I have had all of my kids attend here. The program is strong and the staff are…read morefriendly and actively involved. The school even has great volunteer-run extras like the Skipping Club and the always excellent Strategic Gaming Club. The Academic Challenge programs leads to Steele Heights Jr. High and M.E. LaZerte Sr. High School later on. Although we haven't used it they do have an Out-of-School-Care program on site. If you are looking for a school in the Londonderry/McLeod area it is well worth a look.

Okay, I'm not blood-related to any of the kids who attend the Cogito Program at Mount Pleasant…read moreElementary. But I used to work at the after-school care here, and saw what the kids are like after a hard day of Cogito. Cogito is a special academic program that uses explicit phonetics and repetition strategy to get the material into the kids' heads. They have regular homework everyday, and often the kids would do their homework in the daycare before their parents picked them up. I don't know about you, but I was never that diligent when I was seven years old. While I'll admit the program works, because these are some of the smartest kids I've ever seen, it does take a toll on them. The poor children are probably mentally exhausted, and want nothing more than to unleash all their pent-up energy from the whole day. Unfortunately right after school hours, when they're with the daycare staff! I think it's important to remember that all kids learn differently, so while Cogito may work wonders for some, it may not be the greatest for other kids, especially the ones who need to learn through hands-on activity. On that note, I will add that it's great for getting kids to read early. There's nothing like a five-year-old teaching you the difference between the "a" and "ai" phonemes!

It is been our forth year in this school and we are happy with the results. The school environment…read moreis amazing. We hardly seen any bully or bad mouthing in the school. Everybody including teachers and students are polite and kind. The homework is not that much. If my daughter focus on it, it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of her time.

I went here for junior high and I thought it was a pretty good school…read more There was nothing that blew me away at this school, I felt that it was pretty much the same as any other junior high and the exception to this is that this school also has a french program. The teachers here were really good, and I know there are still many of the same teachers now. When choosing a junior high, parents and children should discuss what their focus is and find a school that will fit their needs best.

We switched schools 2 years ago and did not know what to expect…read more We have 2 children enrolled and are very, very happy with the move. It was nerve wracking not knowing what it would be like. The teachers the kids have had are amazing and go above and beyond. The VP and Principal have been very transparent and honest when asking questions. I am very impressed at how well the faculty work together. You can tell that the teachers are happy, it really comes across in the communication to parents and the activities they put on to involve the parents with their children. I especially enjoyed Family Math Night. I now participate in the parent council and help out where I can (I work FT so don't have a lot of time). I am very happy with the Leader In Me practice they have adopted and love that the kids are encouraged to start and participate in their own clubs. Now having 2 years in this school, I can confidentially say this school faculty and staff are amazing. We are very happy here.

This school has gone down hill in the last 3 years in terms of discipline. They have gone…read more"Militant" as one parent put it. Kids can not be kids in this school. They do not focus on the positive just on the negative and the main focus of the school is to send kids to the office for every little thing from standing up at lunch hour to talking, to rolling your eyes, to doing absolutely nothing wrong. Their main focus in this school is not to nuture your self esteem, it is not to bring the best out in our children, and it is not to come up with positive solutions. They hire people (parents-who have absolutely no training) to help out with our children during recess and lunch hours and these people have absolutely no training when it comes to chilren's behaviours. These same people also lack patience. This school likes to think that they are doing but they are not. The prinicpal is very hard to work with, she can not understand things from the child's point of view. I have actually heard her yell at a child when he was trying to explain his situation. She thinks she is right and no one can change her mind. Parents can not deal with her either-many have said she is impossible-this school does not have a positive atmosphere-they focus on the negative and discipline-do not send your child here. i have pulled my girls out because of this-the kids in this school are hating school, the teachers are negative and they do not work well with the child. There are a few individual teachers that really do enjoy working with children but the ones that have been there for a very long time-it is time they move on a now they have absolutely no patience. The music teacher did not even teach music???? the majority of the kids spends time in the "think tank" as all the kids know the detention room-the principal does not say the kids do not get punished.....but yet they get kicked out for the dumbest things-they have a Zero tollerance policy for any "misbehaviour" but this school deserves a Zero for the way they treat our children. If you are considering this school-please talk to as many parent s as you can-Ms. Busby will smile and make it look like a great school-but the minute you need to actually talk to her-she will not budge and she is a very rude woman and very difficult to work with. As a principal it would be nice to have someone to work with and who is willing to work with your child when situations arise. DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN THIS SCHOOL UNLESS IT REALLY IS YOUR LAST RESORT!!!!!!!!!

Bob T's Review is entirely inaccurate. I had attended the school at the time of that principal, and…read moreyou were ALWAYS allowed to ride your bike, skateboard, Etc. Also, At that school, teachers and staff don't arrive before 8:00 Am, so I do not know how it is possible for that to have happened. You couldn't go in puddles at the time because tons of students were falling and getting wet, and removing all access is what was best for everybody! That principal was the kindest principal I have ever had, and he never raised his voice, let alone screamed at children, saying "I CONTROL YOU. YOU HAVE TO BE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY." As well, Skateboarding on the road can be illegal in some cases, so that teacher was just looking out for students to ensure ultimate safety! In That school, they cannot make you stay late, and they probably wouldn't. AND CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS SCHOOL IS IN SAN DIEGO! As well as my own review, The school is not my favourite since the previous principal left. Poor planning, field trip forms coming home the day before the trip, and other things similar to that. Overall It is a decent school though, and again, Bob T's Review is Completely false information!
