Wow, I can promise you that Washington Montessori would not be recommended by me to anyone. We moved from Michigan, where the schools are ranked in the top 10 in the country. What a rude awakening this school was for us. It is an embarrasment to true Montessori education. My children attended this school for 4 years. They have been in public school for 3 years now and we are very happy that we realized that we were actually doing them harm by keeping them there. This school is full of problem kids which continually distract from the others. Their education is sacraficed for those who continually disrupt. Hopefully, the new head of school with his public school background will get a handle on the problems there and we can stop wasting the tax payers money.

This Montessori School is awesome. The new building that Chairman Dr. Scott has worked so hard on is awesome! Exactly like the Montessori school I came from in Connecticut, which, by the way was ranked #2 in the U.S. (day and night verse beaufort county schools). I guess if you lived in beaufort county your whole life you would think the schools are incredible.(There not) My child is now in the 98%tile in the national scores. Love the environment. my child is not sitting in a chair all day long. She now has a chance to be a leader and make choices of her own in school. She can move to the next grade level and do higher grade work as dictates, can't do that in Public School.thats my biggest praise. My child is not stuck listening to a Teacher Re-teach problem kids all day, she goes at her own Pace.

I cannot reccomend this school to anyone. My child attended Washington Montessori for over a year. The teachers are under qualified...many do not even have teaching degrees. The kids spend a significant portion of the day waiting for a teacher to look at the work that they have done or waiting for a 'lesson'. There is far too much sitting around and/or playing going on. Also, they have virtually no reading program. My child now goes to the public school, and is thriving. A child in the public schools will learn more in one day that most will learn in a week at Montessori. The public schools in this town are great. The teachers are highly qualified. The children are consistently on task, and there are very few discipline problems.
