My son recently went to mayfair for one month from a Catholic school. The first week he thought was great. no dicipline and plenty of bad examples from other kids that he nicely picked up. let's just say he is back in a Catholic school. My son actually wanted to be diciplined again he said the teachers are night and day from Catholic school teachers from their attitudes down to their dress codes, this is comming from my sons mouth, not mine. And i definitly agree with the parent that said the principle and teachers have no control over those students . It's like a zoo. I as a parent never experienced anything like it.

This school is so great! My daughter transferred here in September and every one welcomed her with open arms. Her reading and math skills improved immediately. Way to go Mayfair School!!!!!

Mayfair is wonderful! My stepson has ADHD and has been attending Mayfair elementary for the past 2 years and has thrived. The teachers are great and work with the kids.

My daughter just started third grade here because we just moved. Only to find out Phila grants teachers based on sets of grades total students not per grade. Example if there are 130 3rd graders, school will give one teacher to every 30, so that would give one extra teacher for the 10 over 120 therefore allowing smaller classes. Philadelphia groups for example, 3rd and 4th numbers together to provide teachers. This leaves one grade short somewhere and allows split classes as my daughter has. She is being taught her work them givin an assignment so the teacher can slide to the 4th grade and teach them. Bad system

The school is great. My son is in kindergarden and is reading on a 1st grade level already. The teachers try to involve you in everything going on.

Teachers are very caring. Students are well behaved. Test scores are highest in the area.

This school is great my 7th grader is reading above her reading level and my kindergarten child is reading at a mid 1st grade level. Another thing that is really good is there is a lot of parent involvment and they also encourage it. Another plus is that they let parents of students work in the building so you can see how your children are doing and how well the school deals with the few problems they have if thay have any.

Mayfair is an excellent elementary school. My child is in kindergarten and is already reading at a mid-1st grade level. Their reading and writing programs are great, and the teachers are really dedicated to making sure all of the children do well. I've compared this school's test scores with others in the district and Mayfair is one of the top schools. I'd recommend this school to everyone!
