"I had my kids in Banyan and with 3 months into the school year I pulled them out and put them in private school. The principal, asst. principal and school counselor don't want to help parents with problems with teacher. All they want to do is put kids in ESE classes to get more 'funding' for the school. Thats one big word for them. 'Funding'"

"I have 3 children, 2 of them already left Banyan. I am very happy with my child's teacher.The staff is very envolved. Academic and Safety are very important in Banyan. Thanks to the programs that Banyan has offer thru the years to all my children have taken advantage of it.The key is get involved. Be always on top.Communicate with your teachers. Banyan has a great Parent Academy, those are tools to help our child. I just would like them to have other hours for parents who work and can not attend in"

"When my son started, the teacher was caring and helpful. The next year, the teacher did not want to be bothered going the extra mile. This school is terrible. The principal is not involved."

"When my child started, I was very happy with the quality of education she seemed to be receiving. As the years have progressed, the school has regressed in their caring for the students' wellbeing and parent involvement. The current administration is all about them and how they look, not to the parents, but to their 'VIPS'. Concerned parents are a nuissance to them and are pushed aside for the most part if they voice real concerns. While I was happy when my daughter started, I (along with many other parents) can't wait for to my child to finish and be done. It's a shame because the school was once one of the best Elementaries in the area... current school administration has managed to ruin that."
