My kids love this school, their teachers and the principal. So glad we moved here and the children go to Littlebrook! Great neighborhood and neighbors too!! A great area for our family and still close and walkable to Princeton Univerisity and all that is happening there.

Generally a very good school. There are a couple of teachers who favor girls and crush the spirits of the most active boys, but the rest are great. The principal is fair, professional and highly involved. Some of the front office staff are weirdly grumpy, both with children and parents. I've never understood why, as it doesn't match the cheerful environment of the rest of the school. The after school program has been expanded in the past year or so: chess, tennis, yoga, martial arts, Lego building and more. The custodians are some of the nicest and most hard working you will ever meet. The school needs to enter the 21st Century and get ACs. The classroom temperatures can be uncomfortable in June and September.

LB is a great school in a very nice neighborhood. I love how the children know everyone and act like they own the place! Their experiences outside school contribute positively to the school environment, and many parents are highly accomplished and actively involved with the school. The large majority of teachers and staff are warm and dedicated, and there are more exceptionally good teachers than not so great ones. In my opinion, the principal does a great job. She has encouraged and supported curricular innovations in math and spelling, and she listens well. The playground should be better.

The school has a great student body, because many are children of scholars, researchers, and professors but the curriculum is not exceptional. There are decent specials but some mediocre teachers. One of the main office personnel is unfriendly with children and parents. No after school enrichment programs.

Dedicated staff that really balance nurturing and educating the children. The school has very involved local families that are also wonderful to know.

Littlebrook is a wonderful school and we are very sorry to be moving away. My son started in K and is finishing 5th this year, so six years here, while my daughter started in K and is finishing 2nd this year, so three years here. Some of the teachers have been better than others, but overall it's a fantastic educational experience with an excellent administration. The music and arts programs are particularly strong (both choral and instrumental music are offered). There are also great clubs such as chess club. The Littlebrook neighborhood is great, too -- many children walk or bike to school and the after-school playground culture is a great way to meet other families.
