Great school for your children. My 3 kids went here from Pre-K3 until 8th grade. A school that does…read morenot have a lot of fundings but work great. My kids learned a lot. My daughter was the valedictorian of her class .The Principal Mrs Cisco is great with helping you if you have a problem. If you are looking for a school big on Sports this is not the one. They are not much about athletics. The principal and teachers do not get involve or go to the games. The games are ran by parents. As I said the school does not have a lot of funds. But the education is great. Thank you for your education. The Garcia - Rivera

St Peter school is ok aside from the fact that one day I had a friend from a friend tell me that a…read moreteacher was cursing at the kids because one of that own teachers kid got hurt. The teacher didn't even give the kids a chance to explain just yelled at them until one of the kids started crying. Another thing that I don't really like about this school is the new principal. I've heard many good things about the previous principal but I'm not to sure that the new one really cares about the kids and the absolutely absurd dress code. An example of this dress code is the one for the girls, for girls no skirts above the knee and for every one no outside or not school branded sweaters. But some good things are that most of the teachers try there best to help the kids feel confident in themselves and always try there best to let the kids understand the material. Another good thing is that all the teachers always have concerns for the kids health. Hopefully the school can try to fix its flaws.

Apparently from this advertisement the High School hosts this flea market every Sunday. It sounded…read morelike a nice place to take a ride to and walk around a bit. There were so few vendors though. There had to be less than 10. It's nice they have an event like this, but I wish it had been more accurate about what we were likely to get before we made the trek out here.

Principal Ms. Heyward needs to be fired for being a poor principal and not caring of the little…read moreones. My child was almost touched by another little kid in the bathroom in his private part good thing is he ran away, and we went to speak to her about it and she said "I have no time". The other Principal Monica Gabriele BULLIED my child and pressured another child to say negative and bad stuff about mine. The child told me she didn't want lie but the principal pressured her so mines can get in trouble. I walked in the office without Ms.Gabriele noticing and listened how bad she was talking about the kids. She's worse then Ms. Agatha in the movie Matilda. This school has NOOO Sports for kids they get 2 hours of gym just playing around as they want. Public has all type of sports which will help them learn what are they and how to play. Their dismissal time is 3:15 which is kind of dumb if they do the same exact thing as other public schools. I have my child in the Newark baseball team (not free) because the school has none. Kids need to stay active also for their increases empowerment, personal responsibility and self-control. It also improves their health.

In a word magical…read more I've never witnessed such happy engaged kids. Nor such knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers. It's what we always wanted for our child but didn't think existed in this area. We are so lucky to have found this place.

Our family's experience with Montclair Cooperative School was devastating. After touring and being…read moreassured that our son -- a twice-exceptional, academically gifted child on the Autism spectrum -- could be supported, we submitted his records. Almost immediately, the admissions office reversed course and told us they would not move forward with his application because of his disability, saying he would be "better served" in public school. His academic strengths and test scores were ignored. This is not just disappointing, it is discriminatory. The school has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants and forgivable loans, which means it is legally bound under the ADA, Section 504, IDEA, and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination to provide equal access. Instead, it shut the door on our son because of his diagnosis. We pursued every available appeal, including with the State of New Jersey. Even though the state acknowledged the facts, they declined to pursue the case further -- not because discrimination wasn't present, but because they lacked confidence in prevailing in court. Families should know that if your child has a disability, this school may exclude them rather than work with you. For a school that markets itself as progressive and community-oriented, our experience was the opposite. Parents of neurodiverse children: proceed with extreme caution.
