I can't say enough about how well the teacher has been handling the distance learning during the pandemic. It's my son's first year of school, and I was worried about starting it virtually especially with a new teacher and new classmates. Amazingly my son and the whole class are coping pretty well so far. It all thanks to the wonderful teacher and maybe the school staff also to have the materials and the whole virtual learning so well planned. I can't wait for this pandemic to be over so the kids can go back for a full Payne experience!

Excellent! Every teacher we’ve had so far have gone above and beyond to make the first years of school a memorable, fun, and educationally enriching experience for my child.

This is the third year for my daughters at Payne. The teachers are wonderful: caring and supportive. The principal Mrs. Berg is very hands on and has high expectations of her students. There are many opportunities for parents to be involved in the school activities as well. My daughters have blossomed at Payne and I couldn't be more thrilled!

I have three children at Payne--all with different needs. Payne is able to support each of their needs and the teachers are unbeatable.

Welcoming and organized staff at the school. No bullying whatsoever. Neat classrooms, children not overwhelmed by homework.

My child loves Payne.Teachers are wonderful.Very parent inclusive. my only bone is the office staff that often give parents the curt brushoff when parents are checking in{safety protocol they SHOULD be paying attn.to}I had spoken to other parents about this & found its rather common.Ive been friendly & polite only to have the impatient smile & a wave of the hand from the one who sits closest to the office door.My apologies if your lunch was more important than my child's safety...

Payne has a great legacy. My grandmother taught there for 31 years (she wrote the school song) and my mother has been teaching there for 15. The teaching staff is the best of the best and they keep old traditions and make new ones as the years pass. Payne brings back fond memories for me, and I'm glad to see children still making memories and learning to the fullest at this great school
