Things are certainly different in comparison to the Howell schools my siblings attended before they transferred here. They always preferred their old schools to this one. It could be their bias, but even I agree the Howell schools were better in that there were less issues with the teachers, more fun activities for the students and less homework given out. As well as the fact we didn’t have to constantly pay for this or that. Seriously, they would send my siblings home with papers for some party or whatever that needed to be funded or school shirts and such when we were used to being given these things for free or a smaller fee. I’m not sure how that all works, but it was just an odd comparison. However, for all its faults this school does try and is beautiful. There’s a ton of personality inside the school with the murals made by their students and constant projects always displayed made by the students. My siblings have even made more friendships than I expected here and I’m grateful for that. Especially grateful for the teachers that encourage them to be themselves. From my family’s experiences, it’s not the best school, but it is a good school.

Excellent school, Excellent town and a great combination of hard work and a more relaxed atmosphere. Competitive but not to the point that you make children dislike school. The principal is one of the best around and the school activities and involvement with parents is phenomenal. The teachers care which shows on how well the kids do with work and testing.

Great teachers and newer facility. Not a fan of core but that's everywhere.

Great teachers, tough as nails but they have a very structured way of teaching. I wish this school was more traditional. For Valentine's Day the children were NOT allowed to bring in lollipops or any other sweet. Same thing goes for the children's birthdays. Why not let my child enjoy elementary school like we did! There are no school trips and the students get 5 minutes to eat a snack, and minimal time with recess. These are children....give them some leniency, after all they are 8 and 9 year olds.
