My children went to this school for 1 year (3rd grade). The school is clean and the staff and teachers are friendly. My only concern is I don't feel my children learned very much. The year started off good with homework and communication with the teacher but after spring break everything just went down hill. They stopped giving much homework or if there was homework it was basic and easy. I would ask my children what they learned in school and they would always say nothing or how they watched movies or listened to music in class. I would not recommend this school if you want your child to excel academically. Before and After care program is awesome though!

Pretty bad. I am not impressed. I feel very uneasy leaving my preschooler there. The teacher did NOT have any organization or patience with the kiddos nor parents. It was sad to see. The teacher was slightly arrogant. Did not take the time to explain anything nicely. She wasn't patient with the children- even on the first day. The organization of getting the preschoolers out of the bus and into the cafeteria was chaotic. I felt like if the parents were not there, some of the kids would have been lost. Regardless of whether your child eats breakfast there or not, they have to sit there in the cafeteria until they go to their classes. It would be nice to know that everyone will get their breakfast without feeling like they are ignored. Some organization is needed for this. If anyone from the school reads this, please work on organization and kindness. Thank you!!

I am really impressed with this school. I like the way that the kids are challenged. My grandson attends and I feel like they are teaching him that the sky is the limit. The teachers give me guidance for working at home and I am truly happy with what he is accomplishing. I am a retired teacher and am amazed at his conversational level and thought process.

This school is the most horrible school my son has attended!! Teachers are horrible, they don't take their time to explain anything in school, everyday my son comes home it's a problem because they don't explain his homework to him.. My son has never had problems like this at any of his schools!
