Bright Water Montessori School

This is a wonderful school full of caring staff. Diverse in both staff and students. During the pandemic the children have been loved and understood.
We are a small community who care about each other.

i used to go there for like a few months, the teachers were okay, the kids there were okay especially these kids: lade, frank, Trevon, and Carlos and some other kids they were the best people. But like the schoo ok

Great school. The principal is caring and loves all her “babies”. She goes the extra mile to make sure that all children are successful!
She holds teachers accountable and it is a welcoming space for children to learn and be their best!

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. They should be reported for fraud and discrimination. They show favoritism to people they know versus those who have followed the steps in applying for their child's education in a timely manner. I submitted an application for my child to join the Children's House program early last year and I was told they were full, yet another mom (who the director knows) applied for her child in the Summer and her child started the program right away. When I spoke with the director and the lady who approves the scholarships, they gave me the run around, screened my calls, and then eventually quoted me more than 4x the amount for tuition than they did the other mom. What she paid per month, I was expected to pay MORE than that per WEEK, even though my income was less than hers. Does that make any sense?
Another issue with this school is that they are breaking state education rules of the September 1st cutoff by giving "special treatment" to people they know and letting their child who will still by 4 by September 1st, enter Kindergarten. I get that this rule in general is frustrating but if every other parent has to wait even when they miss the cutoff by one day, why should a parent whose child misses the cutoff by a week get to enroll? I wish I knew who to report these issues to as I most certainly would. I have heard many parents complain about similar issues which means they do it often and that is completely unacceptable. I will not be sending my child here and if I were you, I would look into other schools.

I went to the school for 3 years and it was great it really improves your education. And you get lots of help from teachers and staff. But it have bad lunch and now they have more students in the first year we had around 28 in my class the second year we had 24 and in my third year we had 30 students in one class. If you're a 3rd grader 5th grader or 6th grader you should ask to go to Golden Gophers it's the best class in the whole school
