Overall, School 5 is a wonderful school and my children have many positive memories and experiences with the majority of the teachers there! We were not a fan of the principal at the time, but she is no longer there. We do like the new Principal very much!

School 5 not only has the best most supportive teaching staff the families within the building are down to earth and involved. We are so happy we are part of the school 5 family where my kids shine academically and socially

I'm a former school 5 student who left in 2002. I absolutely adored my principal (Mr. Kriss) and found all my teachers to be incredible. They all seemed capable of tailoring activities to the capabilities of the students and never permitted students to be excluded or neglected. I always had individual attention from my teachers and they were quick to recognize my strengths and give me additional ideas for how to develop skills outside of the classroom. While it may seem irrelevant to some, the school's capability to handle the 9/11 attacks and attempt to have such young children understand them in retrospect amazes me. The level of respect shown (all while remaining age appropriate and unbiased) was beyond what I could have expected. It might seem strange that that situation in particular stood out to me but to me it shows just how capable the school is of understanding its students.
