"Quality of teachers is very spotty - some disengaged, others seem to genuinely care. Our child is diagnosed as on the Autism spectrum and our experience is that Teachers and Principal especially do not support IEP. While available Special Education services apparently are strong , there seems to be great conflict between the Spec Ed and Regular Staff leading to non-implementation of IEP initiatives. Principal is underqualified to deal with Special Education circumstances as he admittedly has never worked with having a TSS in the classroom(for example) and related challenges and has not contributed experience or knowledge- based suggestions."

"I can't believe I made the switch, but it was the best thing I did. My kids love this school. I made the decision when my children were entering 4th, and 5th grade, not an easy time. I kept hearing so many wonderful things about Worrall I had to try, now or never. The first day after school they both ran out and hugged me and thanked my husband and I for making the switch. That was all we needed. Not a day goes by that I regret this. The teachers are great, awesome support. It is a pleasure to see how all the children are friendly to all new students. In my past catholic school that would of never happened to a new child entering as a new student. I only wish we had done this sooner."

"Ever since we made the decision to change schools from private to public, I can not begin to tell you how impressed we have been with every aspect of this elementary school. Our first son is above average in all respects, with the youngest following his footsteps. At a private school in the area we were told for our $25000 for the two boys, not to expect any differentiation in the classroom, (the oldest routinely spoke of boredom and tutoring routines. Needless to say they both look forward to school each morning, they are constantly challenged and feel a 'part of' now since all the children live in the general vicinity. Adding CCD on Tuesdays makes for a long dayfor them but someday maybe away will be found to incorporate into study halls. Oncoing activities stupendous! Parents supportive.and Teachers dedicated!"

"I am so unbelievable thrilled with our decision to send our kids here. It has exceeded all of my expectations. The community is wonderful and the education top-notch. I couldn't be happier with Worrall."
