Community Montessori School

This school is not like it used to be. This used to be one of the best schools in the whole world until the hired Ms. Joanne Simpson. She shouts at the children and acts nice in front of the parents. I will never send my child back there. If you are thinking about sending your child here it is a fairly good idea for 1st 2nd and 3rd grade but I would not recomend any grades above those

When you walk through the door of CMS, the air is filled with the sound of busy, working learning children. The staff is amazing. They always make time to answer questions from parents and kids alike. Ms. Ashby, who runs the school, is surely a miracle among educators. She knows every child in that school and sits out front to welcome each and every child every morning, rain or shine. My son once commented,'Poor Ms. Ashby, her job makes her sit outside even when it is cold and wet.' When I told him her job does not demand that she do that, she just chooses to do so, he said,'I should have guessed because we all know how much she loves all the children.' He was right. We all do!

My three children attend this school and I have been thrilled since the day I transfered by then 3rd grader here in 2003. My 11 year old is in the 4,5 and 6th grade class. My 8 year old is in the 1,2 and 3rd grade class and my three year old is in the 3, 4, and 5 year old class. Each has an excellent teacher. The older two have enjoyed the extracurricular activities as well. Both did band for a year and now one is doing African drums and the other a book club. We also are very blessed at this school to have a great 'community' of parents who care about the school and where their kids go. So I have made many of my own friends here among the other mothers and dads and we support each other all the way in raising our children.
