"If you read the reviews, take into consideration when it was written. Anything before September 2009 describes a very different school than what is here now. Poor Sycamore has fallen into the California school abyss."

"I volunteer my time as well as, tutor at Sycamore Elementary in Claremont. Sycamore Elementary is an excellent school. The teachers, staff and principal are very caring. They help meet the needs of their students. Their education is student-centered. They encourage their students to strive for their very best and "think outside of the box". I recommend this school to any student who wants to enhance their quality of education and have fun while learning."

"Our family actually moved to Claremont from another state just for Sycamore, as it was most like the multi-age-classroom school that we had to leave. It's unique in the San Gabriel Valley, if not all of LA County. It's a very caring, welcoming place with a great sense of community and a very enlightened approach to children's development and learning, both by staff and parents."

"Sycamore has wonderful community spirit! Parents are actively involved and come from a broad cross-section of the city. Professors, artists, professionals and more bring their talents to the campus. An emphasis on student teamwork is supported with multi-age classrooms, allowing kids to develop relationships with younger and older kids. It also gives them flexibility to work in groups of differing abilities. Kids move on from Sycamore to become leaders in middle and high school, maintaining close friendships with their elementary school pals. Most graduate from college, and there is a large contingent of kids whose parents also attended Sycamore as children!"

"The combination of academic and ethical social education, parental involvement, positive peer learning structures and respect for the child as a whole human being put my daughter's education at Sycamore beyond measure."
