The school is absolutely horrible, I have one special Ed that they told me, wasn't and one child who can read that they told me couldn't.

1-10 absolutely a 9.5 the reason being is there needs to be more organized pick up and drop off for school. Other then that glad my children are part of the school

I have kids at various schools due to their fit/preferences/ages. My son loved his Kinder experience with Mrs. Pace. She has been a teacher for over 25 years and is extremely dynamic, encouraging, playful and gentle. I have taught all my kids to read prior to K, but the older ones complained that being overly prepared made school "boring", so he was my case study. I did not teach him prior to K and kept a more hands off approach in regards 'academics'. We encourage museums, reading, arts, but being a boy, I did not want to start the "homework" words, etc. He learned to read, do math, and become a great citizen/friend/student under Mrs. Pace. She should definitely train other teachers in her approach. Everyone cares at the school. I do believe that "counsel" (sharing and caring) methods of Montessori should be welcome since it would decrease some of the bullying that some of the kids (my own and friends') have experienced. Most kids are great but a few repeat offenders seem to not get that such is "unacceptable". Encouraging gentleness and self-direction vs. proctor based boundaries would be a good addition.

All three of my daughters are either going to this school currently or have gone to this school and I can tell you honestly that it's great. The staff really tries to make it fun and safe. Teachers in general are overworked and underpaid, but these folks still give it their all everyday! No school is "perfect" but we have been happy over the 13 years in the district.
