(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Balmville Media and Communications has been an excellent choice for our three children with its early emphasis on reading and emotional development. The teaching staff are hard working and endlessly inventive and make Balmville an exceptional environment, The smallest Elementary School within the district, Balmville excels at knowing your child as an individual. My children are all in the top 5% of their grade level and have very well practiced study habits, thanks to Balmville's rigorous standards. The teachers regularly arrive early and stay late. Most teachers volunteer for the many evening school functions that make this school feel more like a family. We could have chosen a private school but I could not have wanted a better beginning for my children. They have all flowered in Balmville's caring environment where "everybody knows your name".
