Bentley, Head Royce or School of Madeline
I’m looking at schools for my son who will be entering kindergarten. I would love to hear from parents at any of these schools to get current feedback on academics and teachers but also on Covid protocols. Also curious if they all have air conditioning. How are the communities? Friendly? How is drop off and pick up? How are the kids? Well rounded? Competitive? Thanks!

Just to state the obvious, School of the Madeleine is a Catholic school and likely to be very different than the other two in that sense!
Just chiming in to point out that the cut off date for private school applications are usually in January. So if you are intending to enroll your child in Fall 2022, you should check first to see if you have missed the application deadline. Good luck!
I assume you already applied given that the cutoff was in January. I cannot speak to Bentley and School of Madeline but we love HRS. We have one child in 1st grade currently, and another entering K in the fall. The administration has been great throughout the pandemic, keeping safety as a top priority but also really worked hard to keep the school open. I think they opened up October of 2020 if I remember correctly and did weekly testing to ensure we could stay open. The community is friendly and I find all the parents to be very interesting, engaging people. To apply for K you usually do some sort of virtual or in person tour so you can find out that information on the website (again not sure if you applied this cycle or if this is for the following year). We love Head-Royce, would definitely encourage you to look at it.
