Folger McKinsey has been fantastic for my two daughters to attend. The school always has great teachers even when there’s turnover, invites parent involvement, keeps the academic bar high but not impossible, and provided excellent help for my daughter with learning issues. Our oldest daughter briefly went to well-rated private school before coming here and actually had to do some academic catch-up in first grade.

I have had 2 children go - through K-5th grade and it has been a great experience. The school was recently refurbished (we have been there for the before and after) and has all of the new technology available. Kids use I-book chromes and smart boards are in all of the classes etc. All of the teachers and staff know the children very well and are supportive. They really stress Math as opposed to Arts/Music which could be a con for some parents. There is not a lot of ethnic diversity - suburban white middle class. My biggest suggestion is to become a classroom volunteer to get to know the teachers - there are a ton of opportunities to get involved at the school.

This is an absolutely fantastic school. The teachers are warm, caring, and truly excellent at their jobs. Very strong parent involvement.

I am am graduate of Folger McKinsey and my kids attend there now. The new school is beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the education and the teachers. When I ask my kindergartener what he liked about school each day, he always responds with "All of it!!"
