The teachers, except the new ones, are seasoned professionals and care about the whole child. You will not find better teachers in the private schools. Mrs. Soviero and Mrs. Aboujja in 5th grade are Master Teachers and the best of the best. Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Pawlek in 1st grade are really great teachers. Mrs. Robinson even visited my daughter in the hospital and brought cards from her fellow students and read a book to her. I challenge you to find ANY teacher today who would do that!! However, the administration is weak and needs an overhaul. No backwards planning, no"big ideas," no scaffolding, no data walls, no data meetings. Transformative Leadership, Collaborative Committees, anything for 21st century learners other than lipservice to STEM is non existent. EI goals, social emotional learning NOT on the radar. (Can you tell we moved from the progressive West Coast?) School Admin does not meet the needs of the diverse.community it serves, which is a shame. So much potential with GREAT teachers. This school deserves GREAT leadership!

I love this school. We moved here a year ago from LI where we have top notch schools. I am pleasantly surprised with this school.

What a wonderful school. My daughter has had a year full of learning and nurturing at FAW. Looking forward to the future and all that this school has to offer.

I have three kids go through FAWE and cannot say enough about it. Great school and staff and a real family atmosphere. The teachers and administration all deserve a big raise. Though I was a little dissapointed in the playground and upkeep. The grass needed to be mowed, no nets on the basketball hoops and one of the jungle gyms was roped off. Is this what we're cutting back on? One would think with all the lotto money and property taxes going to schools we could atleast maintain them properly...
