My 4 year old son has been attending St. Mark's preschool and aftercare program since he was 18…read moremonths and it has been so great for him. He'll be starting kindergarten in August and he's very well prepared and ahead of the game because of the entire dedicated staff of St. Mark's. They provide progress reports and conferences for the parents, make learning truly fun for the kids, with themed weeks like camping week (during which Ms. Sarah set up an enormous tent in the classroom!) and Dr. Suess week. Every teacher is so hands on, the ratio is around 2 teachers per 4 kids and the class size is small. The administration dept. is kind enough to work with my unusual custody arrangement and go above and beyond to ensure the parents and children are happy. The school is also involved in a lot of charitable organizations for less privileged children, and they have book drives, Christmas pageants and more to make the school a community. Once kids are in a certain age group, they go on field trips to the fire station, parks etc. Sometimes only walking trips! It's safe clean and my son will enter elementary school knowing how to read. Even better? There are scholarship options available!!

My son just "graduated" from pre-k at St. Mark's, and we already miss it. His teachers were…read moreabsolutely wonderful; they really tailored their instruction to his abilities, which enabled him to maximize his learning. He had so many great experiences there -- fun & educational field trips, class events, visiting instructors, and so on. The school provides what in my opinion is the perfect balance of socialization and academic instruction. I'm sad he won't be going there any longer, but so thankful for the time he had with them.

This school is amazing. I've started this school in kindergarten and now I'm in 7 grade. From then…read moreon I've learned a lot like math, science etc. I even remember when I couldn't figure out what 2+2 was and now I'm on to ratios and geometry a little I would definitely recommend coming here it's a great school.

So now that my 3 children are successfully enrolled elsewhere after lasting 90 days into the school…read moreyear, please allow me this platform to be completely honest! Their systems are all broken. Their bus system started out fantastic and 1 week into the year they lost our driver. Who was replaced two weeks later. After about 2 more weeks we lost our route for the rest of the year. So a 20 minute ride turned into 45 each way. Unbelievably inconvenient and shows an inability to problem solve on the administration front. The bully system, also severely broken. I probably should have led with that however, im not sure any school is fully free from this. But after reporting 3 incidents and being told it will be dealt with we finally had enough and pulled all 3 kids from their clutches. Not only was my daughter being physically assaulted on a daily basis but even the teachers were diminishing their spirits and im not sure its ok to make kids eat lunch in silence every single day. Not allowed to speak during what should be a free period To top it off once we asked for our transfer paperwork they dropped the case and said its no longer relevant because we are switching schools. So the bullies face zero consequences and will move onto their next victim. Unfathomable. Disgusting and ludicrous! IEP system. Lets start by saying they approved 2/3 for my kids. Now let's get to the nitty gritty. The head district iep lady literally commented to my wife in an incredibly sarcastic manner that she should know all about iep's because one of our kids has one, than proceeded to laugh indignantly. Disgusting behavior which no one in the room, and in said room are top school officials, said a damn thing. Pathetic really. Our kids need extra assistance so instead of providing that in an inviting fashion they chose to make fun of us! Shame on all of you. Truth is, its a blessing in disguise because after returning home from their first day of school my kids are over joyed to be in a loving cradling environment! Keep your kids away from this shit hole! FACTS!!!!!!

Unfortunately, since the change of director few months ago; I personally feel the teachers have…read moretaken the liberty to run the school and set unrealistic rules. My daughter was targeted by two of the teachers in staff. I feel sad to have learned they were making my daughter cry and mis-treating her. When confronted they lie about my child behavior, etc.... and do whatever it takes to protected their jobs. My husband found my daughter crying hysterically in corner (her last day in that school last week). And when questioning teacher they told him it just happen as they were playing with the other kids and ignoring my daughter. They did not ofter us apology or to fix the situation as they have waiting list and my child will just be replace by an other family. All they care is about the money and not the family at all. This whole situation sadness my heart....
