Schneider Elementary School

Schneider has been a great place for my student to learn and build relationships.

Excellent principal, special services and attentive teachers make this hometown school a great place for kids to attend.

Schneider has the most friendly front-desk staff that connects the parent to their child: be it forgotten lunch, jacket, or gloves. They go out of their way to get the parents involved with the school, such as giving the students an assignment book, so that the parent initialize the book each day, to guarantee that the student does the homework. Reading log done weekly is also signed by the parent for younger students. My kid got 99% percentile state test ranking in both math and reading in 5th grade, Mrs. Colucci is the ideal caring and dedicated teacher, so are all the young teachers who are hired in recent years. The gym, art, and music teachers are excellent, positive, and caring to all students. One thing I would ask for is MORE homework, since the teaching is so excellent that students breeze through their homework.

I have 2 girls at Schneider and we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers are really dedicated and understand the needs of each child individually. Kids that excel are challenged in reading and math in accelerated ways. The new math program (2 years old) is very challenging and contains multiple approaches to problem solving (flexible thinking) and very deductive reasoning I didn't think a 2nd and 3rd grader could do. Also some great activities for kids and families (dances, bingo nights, movie nights, fun fairs) that bring the school together.
