"Primrose Hill School has a student body and community that could potentially foster a truly excellent education. The quality of the test schools when you look at this school by the numbers should mostly be attributed to the largely affluent demographic who can afford to supplement the sub-par education offered by this school. The largely homogeneous nature of the school also denies the students a chance to have a culturally or economicly diverse experience. A lack of leadership, low teacher expectations and accountability, weak district oversight, and lack of consideration for the student as a whole child make this school a place we are very glad to leave. If you are considering buying in this school zone be prepared for an average education if your child is high performing, and to be constantly annoyed by the lack of professional clear communications from the school leadership. I give Primrose Hill school 2 stars instead of 1 only because of my positive experience with other families at this school and a couple of teachers/staff members."

"Four of our children were educated thru Primrose Hill School and our experience was excellent. They have a nurturing environment from K-3 and really invest in the children's success. Teachers are wonderful with a mix of experienced and young educators. Lastly they have an annual fair sponsored by the PTO who is very active and the proceed go to enrichment after school programs, the school is very much a collection of interested parties. Additionally 2 of our children graduated from Ivy league schools so they are doing something right."
