My children have attended New Market Elementary for 9 years combined now, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about the positive school culture, the incredibly dedicated teachers, the lovely small town vibe community, and the exceptionally supportive administration and front office staff. We feel like the luckiest parents in the world to be able to a part of this unicorn of a school!!

The Teachers are very caring and supportive. The Magnet program was very beneficial. There are many resources for the children if they need to be brought up to grade level or if they are above grade level to keep them challenged.

Teachers or administration showed no genuine interest in my child, they only covered their own behinds and pushed my daughter along!!!! Blue Ribbon- what a joke!

This school has an excellent principal who has a staff dedicated to meeting the needs not only of students who need extra help but students who are above grade level as well. The specials programs have excellent teachers as well and there are so many extra opportuntities for every child's interests (running clubs, band, chorus with shows etc). My child is in the magnet program and the teachers are just phenomenal.

My son started this school last year in Kindergarten. He had some trouble with reading and was way below where he should have been. His teachers immediately identified the problem and by the end of the school year he was reading at grade level. I really appreciated the time and attention they gave him, even with lots of other kids in the class with high levels of reading (some of his friends) and lower levels of reading. They seem to be able to handle it all.

The teacher, and faculty of the school seem to genuinely care for all of the children. They constantly go out of their way to ensure that everyone is comprehending the material, while offering enrichment opportunities for those that need pushed harder. The atmosphere is warm and kind. Volunteering is highly encouraged. I couldn't recommend any school more.
