It is very infuriating to know that a child can get called racial slurs and instead of taking proper disciplinary action towards the perpetrator they punish the child being bullied & discriminated against. No child should have to endure this kind of discrimination let alone being punished for something they did not do/say. I would rate this school 0/5 if I could. It is unfortunate to know the safety of my loved ones is in jeopardy and they can’t even feel comfortable in what is supposed to be a safe learning environment. However all they are taking away from this is how Wildflower supports racism.

When reading these reviews please be careful. This is for a school in Arizona, not the school in Chapel Hill, NC. There are 2 problems here, the bad reviews are obviously about The Wildflower School in Chapel Hill,NC. The same review is posted on their site. The other reviews are NOT about the Wildflower school in Chapel Hill, the reviews outline things that just wouldn't make sense to the school in NC, but new parents may not understand that and just see a lot of good reviews. The good reviews are about the other school, or possibly other schools. There are many schools called the Wildflower school, there is also a Montessori company called Wildflower schools which is over many schools. Please don't confuse these reviews. You can get a very screwed picture of what you are looking for if you confuse the two.

The leadership is very disorganized. Teachers can change sporadically. They can't keep teachers for a full year. The school has an amazing property and building but it's completely up to the whims of the director as to how they are used. There was at least 2 days with 1 teacher in charge of 15 kids 2 and up. Some days the kids are left in the hot and some days they are sent indoors. The school is very chaotic and needs a better director.

Classroom settings are very rigorous and caring, no child is left behind. Student's are able to express their concerns when it comes to their learning. Teachers make sure that students are always being challegened and accomadated.Admin is very much involved in the every day activities and having that communication with students and staff.

I just had to share. This is the first time in a long time that my so has ever said something like this. This weekend he told me, “Mom, I don’t want 6th grade to end. I love Wildflower, it’s just a beautiful school and I really like the teachers and I have friends”. It made me cry happy tears. He had struggled for a few years after moving to this area and than we made the switch to Wildflower. What a difference!You all are AMAZING. Wildflower instills pride in the kids and teaches leadership skillsThank you. Thank you. Thank you

I’m thrilled with the staff and the education my children receive at Wildflower. The Principle and V. Principle know each child by name...there’s something to be said about that! The teachers show compassion towards the children while having high expectations. There have been added safety measures to keep the kiddos extra cared for. Further, during these times of COVID, they have increased the level of cleanliness. We’ve had a terrific experience over the last three years at Wildflower.

My kids LOVE attending WildFlower so that means I love that school as well just because I know they are comfortable and the safety-ness of their surroundings. All staffs are very welcoming and they care for the students as if they were their own kids. Education is beyond amazing as well. I would highly recommend this school. Proud WildFlower PARENT!!!

WE Love WILDFLOWER! Each and every staff member there shows their love and passion for reaching each child. Our experience starts before we even enter the school grounds. The crossing guards always wave, smile and welcome each car that passes by no matter if they are dropping a student off or not. The teachers show a great deal of care for their students and their academic successes. No matter what grade our child is in the former teachers make sure an continue the previous years relationship. This definitely creates the family feeling we experience at Wildflower. The staff who engage with the children during meals are just as welcoming and caring. From Administration down the entire staff at Wildflower make sure the children feel welcome and apart of the family. They push the children to do their very best and give them the tools to do so. Excellent school and would definitely recommend.

Overall mine and my child’s experience has been nothing short but great! I have told Dr. Montoya whatever they are doing they need to bottle it up and give it to the other schools in this district. Whatever she is doing at Wildflower is effective. The staff should be very proud that they have achieved excellence.

Best decision i have ever made for my kids education. This school is amazing, When my childrens school abruptly closed down they not only made accommodations to allow my daughter to attend in the middle of the school year but they made room for any other child that needed a school to attend. Dr. Montoya and her staff are very friendly and very supportive. My daughters teacher (Mrs. Moorehead) is very responsive and was very supportive in getting my daughter caught up to speed on where they were in their class- as my daughter may have been top of her class at her last school she was far behind in her transition. She has since caught up and fits right in. Dr. Montoya was also supportive in getting my son in the school once he passed his early entrance test and now this year he has my daughter old teacher (Mrs. Moorehead) and I can not be any happier. A special Thank you to everyone at the school for just being YOU! Definitely an "A" rated school.

My three daughters, in Kinder, 3rd and 5th grades, just finished their first year at this school and couldn’t be happier. They all had great teachers and were always challenged to do their best. The school offers several after school clubs as well as tutoring for kids to participate in. My 5th grader joined the photography club and my 3rd grader joined the art club and had meetings once a week with the Gifted program. Good behavior, attendance and academic growth does not go unnoticed, they have quarterly award assemblies, 100% club, and incentive field trips for students to get rewarded. And in my experience this really motivated my daughters to do their best!

I feel my children have advance tremendously each year and the support the teachers give them and encourage them to exceed.
