The Fulton School

With the ongoing issues with testing and bullying, we were struggling with the idea of sending our son to public school, but we weren’t sure we could afford private school. Some of our closest friends are public school teachers and many were frustrated with their class sizes, administration and lack of parental involvement. The administration seemed to be more concerned about test scores and passing the students than truly educating the students. It seemed as if the good teacher’s had their hands tied to the point it stifled and frustrated them as they tried to manage overcrowded class rooms.
Three months before kindergarten we decided to visit Fulton. We were sold that day and have not looked back. Our son is in his third year there and loves his school and has made great friends. All of the students get along and so far, we have never had an incident of bullying or any fighting among the students. They treat each other as extended family. The families are widely diverse from ethnicity, religion and income. There is tuition, but this isn’t an exclusive private school for just the wealthy. The class size is small enough for the teachers to work with each child individually if needed. There are no standardized tests, so the students can learn at their own pace. If they are ahead of the rest of the class, they can move up a grade in that particular area. If they are not quite at the level as the rest of the class, the teacher will work with them individually to get them to the level expected. Knowing this, we feel that Fulton has our child’s education at top of mind before anything else.
If you feel your child is struggling or falling behind, being forgotten in the back of his class or if you are just looking for a great small family /​school environment, I recommend that your family visit Fulton.
