Chesterbrook Academy

We started sending our kids to Chesterbrook in Clifton 9 years ago. I have seen good leadership and bad over the years. There have been times when I thought I should move my kids. But we stuck through the bad (high staff turnover, less than enthusiastic principals, lack... of communication, etc) and had some really great experiences there, especially over the past year.The pricipal is wonderful, cheerful, responsive, and understands the needs of parents and children. The rest of the staff is wonderful too. I have seen very little turnover since Ms. Leslie joined the location as principal. My children LOVE their teachers, and I appreciate them so much. The infant room teachers have been there for years, and it was so reassuring that the same lovely women took care of my children after they were born. We are moving and I am so sad to be leaving the school. We will all genuinely miss it there. Read More

My daughter has been attending Clifton location for the past 2 years, but unfortunately last week was her last week of school. Due to the recently former principle Bartney' poor administration skills. They were tons of new faces during summer camp and teachers got trans...itioned to all different classes. My daughter started coming home looked unhappy and a lot of times complained that the new teacher in her class had done some harmful thongs to her. Example like pulling her so hard that caused her to fail down. And pulled her ears. I didn't want to believe at first, but everyday that I dropped her off and picked her up. I would see this teacher sat at the same spot, acted no intend care to the children, eating food, and seemed so desperate to get off from work. This former principle who had been there for only 3 months had decided to quit the same day as my daughter last day. Very poor educational skill staffs. Got no professional level in being an academy.

We enrolled our son in Chesterbrook Academy in Clifton. It was awful. I would not recommend putting your child there.
