I would highly recommend Thomas G. Connors! Not only are the administration, faculty and staff truly first rate, students come first, and the school's practices are at the forefront of the field based on the latest science. Before going to Connors, my son was barely meeting his grade level requirements. Now, he is at the top of his class and loves going to school! The teachers are highly invested in each student's individual pathway and apply rigorously tested principles to help set students up for success. As an example, the school has implemented a highly effective social, emotional learning platform, as multiple studies have highlighted the link between emotional regulation and strong scholastic performance. In addition, the school offers a rich and diverse list of additional programs such as Project Lead the Way, and the John Hopkins gifted and talented program. Finally, the school has an active and highly engaged PTO. I would highly recommend Connors!
