I rate the school a 5/5 its a positive school who deserves to be acknowledged for the strives they are making. The test scores are good I don't understand how it gets a low rating.

Our daughter is in the first grade - her second year at Coit, and we are thrilled that our initial misgivings have been largely nullified. * The staff and teachers are incredibly caring and want to see the kids succeed. * In our experience, the teachers try to provide an academically challenging environment for all students, which was an initial concern for my husband and I. *The arts programming is wonderful; Ms. Brady - the arts teacher is an absolute GEM. * We have not had issues with bullying thus far, but that is not to say it is not an issue for others. * All in all, my daughter loves her time at Coit and will be very sad to leave this school when we move.

The music and art program, in my opinion, was excellent, but I don't have very fond memories of this place because of all the bullying that went on.

Both my children attended this school. The confidence and structure it has helped to develop in my child is amazing! I love the fact that there are different ways for children to succeed that isn't only academically; talent and passion is just as important as academics (in my opinion)! My daughter has already met requirements to attend City Middle AND she has had success in the arts such as dance and music outside of the school

Three things that have impressed me about Coit are the dedicated and caring teachers, the strong sense of community that is fostered, and the strong arts instruction especially in choral music.
