Sargent is a caring and supportive school with great teachers. Our son has so far attended pre-K and Kindergarten and he is thriving. He loves his teachers, and his academic and social skills are developing very well. We'd like to see stronger arts ed and foreign language instruction at Sargent starting in K. The PTO is actively working with the school to increase resources and enrichment activities. The NY standardized test scores are not a good reflection of the quality of this school, and more a comment on the current mess of NY state testing policies. If you move to Beacon, definitely consider houses zoned for Sargent. You won't be disappointed!

Sargent was an excellent experience for our kids who are now at Rombout Middle School. We were not crazy about the administration, but the teachers and PTO were excellent! The teachers were imaginative and loved teaching, and the PTO was always coming up with great ways for families to have fun together. People should think twice before sending their kids to private school, this one is a winner!

I have 2 boys at Sargent, one in 2nd grade and one in Kindergarten. I am a member of the PTO, so I've gotten a chance to meet with teachers that my children haven't had, as well. I have to say that, despite the constraints placed on all public schools these days, the teachers and staff at Sargent are very dedicated and caring. I see it getting better and better, just in the few years we've been here!

Went I had to go from J.V. to Sargent I cried, and when I was done when Sargent, I was happy. It does have some good staff and teachers, but it was REALLY sketchy when I was there just a few years ago.
