Families expects two things from the schools where they send their students: Their students get a (preferably solid) education, and they are safe in the school's care. You get neither of these at Judith P. Hoyer Montessori.Over six years, my family has seen the quality of education deteriorate, especially for the older students, and the disciplinary issues at the school worsen. They ride the coattails of their overachieving students to exaggerate their teaching prowess when in reality, many of the students move on to other programs underprepared and overwhelmed.The middle school program is a joke. Compared to others in the county, they lack a comprehensive curriculum and supplementary programs that other schools, even the neighborhood ones, offer.While the school has a great community of families -- the main reason why this review was BAD, not TERRIBLE -- the school takes them for granted and squeezes every ounce from the ones who are willing to volunteer and give back. Yet, when those same people only ask for the decency to teach their students and keep them safe, the school ignores them and treats them like pariahs.

My son is in 3rd grade this year and his experience at Hoyer has been great. He has a very engaged teacher who has brought his math and reading level to well above grade average. He loves all the "specials". He enjoys PE and Media. Overall the kids are taught to be kind and respectful of one another. The PTA is very active. Tracy Spivey White is a strong principal who runs a tight ship. We feel fortunate to be part of the Hoyer family.

This is year four for us and thus far the PTA, the teachers and principal appear to have an awesome spirit of engagement with the students, whether for support in the class, special events and/or fundraisers.

Great students, great staff and great parents! This equals a great school community. Everyone in the school community cares about the success of the students.
