As a raised Kenilworth resident, I had fond memories of the school system and had such high hopes. With covid, we had moved back into town and with my own child attending Harding Elementary, the past 2 school years have been disheartening. The school system protects its image over the well being of the students and will always brush the most severest cases under the rug. The entire school board and school faculty LACKS diversity and we have been treated with racism and favoritism. My child has had nothing but trauma from this school and has no motivation to pursue academically. The school prefers to point fingers at my child versus taking responsibility or action towards anything/anyone else, as it’s easier than solving the actual matter. With a real estate career of my own, fair housing is not only my duty but my love for society and people. As a parent, I have not remained silent and will continue to spread awareness when it’s rightfully so. Everyone is entitled to their own, I speak solely about our experience. No child should have to feel isolated, unfavorable, and singled out due to race or privileges (in the school/town system). We will not continue to take residency or take part of the school system for the future.

My children have done very well in both Harding Elementary as well as David Brearley. College bound students excell here. There is a very small amount of students in each grade which can make the scores appear worse than they actually are. This school system is in a very small community, the students are very happy and the teachers are wonderful.

Couldn't be happier in Harding! I have never encountered a more caring school with the most talented, educated and kindest staff and teachers. Mrs. Donough is the best! My child has never been happier. As someone else said, it is not always about the academics but about the school spirit. Yet, my child is earning so much already that is very impressive.

Great School! My daughter has been taught many things that I never learned at her age. The curriculum teaches them all types of things... art, music, language.. at age 6! The teachers are very attentive to their needs. Everyone helps out each other as a team! No complaints here.
