My child was an A student at Sligo and is now struggling in high school because she can't keep up with the work. Sligo just doesn't prepare students to work hard. They don't teach any study skills and don't challenge the kids.

My child had a great experience last year, our first at Sligo. I have been paying attention to Sligo for years, deciding whether I was going to send my kids there. Until new principal leadership came in 5 years ago (around 2013), I would have said no. Since that change, the admin team has been strong and the school gets better every year. Note that the "star" rating on this website really changed once the pre-2013 principal left and things starting turning around. Now, teachers seem to be happy and motivated, and turnover is low. We've been really happy with my daughter's experience there so far.

Great experience. Totally prepared for high school.

I attended the open house held 1/26/17 for the incoming 6th grade class and their parents. We had a child at Sligo 2011 thru 2015. This school has really worked and changed in the time we have been away. Teachers and administration gave a presentation that was engaged, student centered, parent welcoming and over all enthusiastic. It was a very different and altogether great experience compared to our first experience.
