I noticed there weren’t any reviews from students or alums so I thought I would share :). I did elementary school here and it was a great experience! I had nice teachers and there were lots of fun things to do. I do have one complaint though, because kids who were gifted in any given subject were not very accommodated. My learning there wasn’t very challenging. As for students who were slower at learning, it was mostly up to the teacher to accommodate that. Overall though, I didn’t hate going to school every day, so that’s a plus! Very much a good school.

Transferring my child to Fearn was the best decision we ever did. She is getting a great education with some of the best teachers!

This school may only be rated a 6, but to me and my boys they are a 10. Moving from private school in the city to public school in the suburbs, I didn't know what to expect. Fearn and their staff have exceeded all of my expectations. My first grader is doing great, loves his teacher and his classmates. My second grader has an IEP and needs special services, he has an amazing team behind him, a wonderful, resourceful teacher, a patient assistant teacher, and two amazing special ed teachers. They all really care about him and come up with great ideas to help him learn and also fit in with his peers.

We've had three children in this school. They each learn in different ways and the school was great with all three of them. The teachers have been fantastic and they've addressed each child's needs in a way that benefits them. They do care about what's best for each child.

I have two children in Fearn and one on the way to Kindergarten next year. My experience with all of the teachers so far has been great. My experience has been that they hold the kids accountable, especially to the Fearn 3. Mr. Smith is very involved and seems to really enjoy what he does. One of my children is in the advanced classes and the other is not as gifted academically but she had a very patient teacher. Both children have come a long way thanks to the support they get from great teachers.

This is our first year at Fearn school, and I am very pleased with the progress of my daughters skills.For example, my neighbors grandchild is the same age and is not doing or being exposed to the same learning technics. The teacher is experienced and has told me things about my daughter that takes time and effort to learn. The bus driver is wonderful! We are very blessed to have both parts so compadible. I don't have anything to compare the rating of this school, but I will say this, it is "Well Above Average"

Excellent teaching staff. The secretaries lack any kind of personality and the principal is a joke and needs VERY badly to be fired.
