Community Montessori School in Lexington, Kentucky

LA rated Community Montessori School (1/5 stars) on 9/13/2013

I am sad to post this negative review of Community Montessori School. Unfortunately, my child not only did NOT progress at CMS, but scores on the CATs test and qualitative measures indicate she has actually regressed in language arts, mathematics, and social studies over a 2-year period. In 4th grade, when she entered CMS, her math score was in the 70th percentile (the 6.4 grade level). At the end of 6th grade, the score was in the 39th (the 6.2 grade level). Similar drops were evident in language arts and social studies. Standardized measures don't capture a child's entire educational experience, but they DO measure attainment of basic skills. These drops are horrifying. Do not listen to the rhetoric on teaching "the whole child." Those words should never be used as an excuse to dismiss a child's development of critical skills.

CMS is a wonderful school where your child will flourish, as a former student I have prospered through my life from the teachings I was instilled with at this school. When I entered middle school I learned that to my advantage my education from CMS had already surpassed the 7th grade year of my middle school I entered, as I continued through to high school I just kept excelling. I am now the youngest professional in my career at my current medical job and am a productive and well educated member of society; I encourage you to enroll your children into this AMI Accredited School.
