My daughter is in first grade at Betsy Ross and we have thoroughly enjoyed her education experience thus far. Her kindergarten and first grade classes have bothe been led by strong active teachers with assistance from aids and curriculum coaches in reading and math. The school’s community is supportive and engaged. My daughter and all her friends are excited about school and love to take part in the extracurricular activities planned by the district - like family game night, science/math night, and the art show. We are so happy that our daughter is able to receive such direct attention from her treacher and the whole school staff. Her confidence has been bolstered due to the warm me inclusive nature of the school.

We went from private school to Betsy Ross and were very impressed. The class size is very small (smaller than private) and the staff is amazing. Mr. Milnamow is an amazing administrator and really cares about the well being of the children not solely academics. The curriculum challenges them to be great achievers and the children and parents really come together as a community.

This is our 2nd yr at Betsy and we absolutely have loved it. Fabulous teachers, a very involved staff all around, small class sizes for kindergarten there were 17 kids, the teacher and a full-time aide in the class room, for 1st grade 15 kids per class and a shared aide. The kids get 30 minutes to eat lunch which is plenty of time. The district has paid for our school supplies the last 2 yrs and no fee's for field trips! A very active PTO and lots of parent involvement. Its a small school and you'll get to know everyone quickly.
