Our daughters have been coming here the last four years and my husband and I really love what this…read moreschool has to offer. So far we have loved all of our girls teachers from Kinder on and we look forward to the teachers to come. This school is a K-8 school which is great as we love the school and staff and don't have to worry about leaving until high school. We also love that the school offers a ton of field trips throughout the year, multiple after school programs, sports, arts programs and multiple other extra curricular activities. This is a great school for kids who love the arts and for parents who are active participant's in their children's lives, as parents are required to do 45 hours of volunteering per year.

As a post student of LDV K-8 , I found that the biggest issue is the school lunch. The lunch is…read morehorrible, I found mold in the food. Please pack lunch for your kids! Another problem I have is that the administrators take a while to acknowledge any problems like a report, coming from personal experiences. There are a few staff members that are rude but most of them are overly nice. The teachers are kind and give help if you need any. Bullying is a problem that occurs. If you're fine with your kid being bullied and having horrible school lunch then you don't have to worry. Overall, this school could have been better.

My daughter attends Maryhill Midtown, and I honestly can't say enough good things about this…read moreschool. From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

A World-Class Learning Community -- and an Distinguished School…read more Both of my daughters have been a part of Merryhill since before they turned one, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the school has provided a warm, family-like environment where students, parents, and teachers genuinely connect and collaborate. Merryhill's academics are comparable to top performing schools -- accelerated, challenging, and thoughtfully designed to help every student reach their fullest potential. As an Apple Distinguished School, technology and innovation are seamlessly integrated into the classroom, empowering students to think critically, create, and lead with confidence. Beyond academics, the variety of extracurriculars is extraordinary -- from Taylor Swift Club, Sewing, and Pokémon Club to sports and creative arts -- there's something for every child to discover and enjoy. Oh yes and Kids Kitchen ‍ The leadership of Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Wallis has been remarkable. Their vision, compassion, and commitment to academic excellence create an atmosphere where teachers truly partner with families to nurture both the mind and heart of every student. From daycare at Merryhill Karista through elementary and middle school here at Merryhill Midtown has been a place of growth, belonging, and inspiration. We only wish there were a high school level to continue this incredible journey. Thank you Mustangs Parm Dhillon

P.E teachers were not on point, Forced my child to run even with a hurt ankle. Another incident Happened, When my child got pushed down, And She was requesting ice, Mr.E would not accept my child requesting ice, He responded with "You are banned from ice". Was not acceptable in my opinion. My child also came home telling myself of an incident that happened which appeared to be of, "Mr.E was touching my friend _____ and it was very weird". Very inappropriate matter. Miss.E was a very Sassy, inappropriate, And a liar. Explanation: She showed my kid Landray on a app called "Shien" As well as a teacher named as Miss.C. Miss.Myers was a pretty disrespectful lady as well with racism. Mrs.Pine Was very demanding along with ALOT of racism was long towards my child's friends. Was not appreciative. Mr.Moua Was a P.E teachers for The grades of 1-4th grade, I believe he needs to understand the grades of the children he was teachers we very young and he should be a little Non-Demanding. Thank you!

My daughter loves this school. She has been a student since starting Kindergarten during COVID and…read morehas been successful in meeting and exceeding benchmarks every year. I am happy with the staff, and Mr. H is an awesome principal that levels the kids and never pulls punches or gas lights the kids. He is straight forward and respected because he also returns the same respect to the students and parents. All of the teachers, paraeducators, P.E. teachers, etc. truly care about the kids and are open to listening to not only the parents, but our children as well. I have loved every teacher my daughter has had and look forward to seeing her continue her education at Sol Aureus. GO Phoenix!

I call Brookfield a unicorn school. We are parents of three children and I wish we had found out…read moreabout Brookfield for our older son who needed a more challenging educational atmosphere. He is now thriving in high school, but I do wish that we had the experience we are having now with him when he was in elementary and middle school. My middle son is a transfer student to Brookfield and my youngest is starting out at the Preschool. About our experience: First, touring the school my husband and I were so impressed by the diversity, the ideology of the school, the atmosphere and the attentive nature of staff and teachers. Second, the fact that they have a preschool/elementary/middle school in one space is dream for us and the way that each grade level has their own space is also incredible. Finally, we were beyond thrilled that our children are not only learning the standard subjects, but they are also have Spanish, Music, P.E and computers almost everyday. This is above and beyond the majority of schools we have toured and researched. Why I highly recommend Brookfield to families: + Education + Testing prior to acceptance to ensure your child/family will be a good fit for the school and assurance that they will thrive at the appropriate grade level +Diversity + Child care before and after school included in tuition + Spanish, Music, Technology and Physical Education classes almost daily +Teachers and staff have a true interest in your child's best interest + Option to have extracurricular activities before and after school + Caters to children who are in preschool-8th grade + Great playground and outdoor seating + Vibrant student culture + Safe and secure + Excellent communication and online access for parents to teachers and administration The list goes on and on...I am thankful to Dr. Jo and all of the staff for creating such an amazing space. Our children are so happy when they get home and look forward to going back to school each day.

Let's start with the good--small classes, some strong teachers, and a good community where my kiddo…read moremade friends. But we have to be honest with the downsides. Since ISP took over and Dr. Jo left, the school has changed. My sense is they will take any child who can pay. There is also less accountability when there are behavioral issues and the school does not feel like a safe place to send a child any longer. Kids are getting hurt, and there is inappropriate conduct. The teacher professionalism and turnover is an issue especially given the price of the school. They've hired some folks who don't have experience or a credential. And folks have left mid-year which is really hard on the kids. The school bills itself as accelerated--sometimes this ended up as a positive, but other times it felt too fast and mastery was lost in the process. I also think parents should know that some of these reviews were incentivized by the administration. I think the real picture is more of a mixed one.

The teachers, principal, and even non-educating staff members remember the names of each student and even parents. They test their students for GATE as well as placement levels, and actually help work with the parents and teachers to get curriculum that best suits that student. The teachers here understand that each student is just a child, and that each one is different. They even have their own teacher-run after school enrichment programs and tutoring that fill up quickly. There is also an after school program that runs til 6pm I believe. We did have one issue with one teacher being a little demanding but we had some mediation and got everything worked out.
