Demarest Elementary School
This is an excellent school. I don't know why it is just rated 5 Stars. This school should be rated at least a 9. The teachers are excellent and very caring. The principal is exceptional. She gets involves with children and parents and just doesn't sit behind closed doors. My 6th grade child is new to this school and loves it here. There is no bullying and the children are polite and well behaved. The school is very organized and very clean. Keep up the good work Demarest....

Demarest School is over crowded there are way too many children in the classrooms. Although the school rates OK in state testing, the scores would be much higher if the class sizes were smaller!
