My kids are really happy with this school. They have really friendly Staff and teachers that love kids.

The school is a good, safe place for my children. They focus a lot on safety in addition to education, which in current times we live in, is very important. They invest in their facilities and just added green turf fields on all of their campuses. I also just got a message from the school that they have installed expensive UV filters to reduce the chances of their staff and students getting sick. Overall I recommend this school for anyone that wants a private school environment for their children without actually paying thousands of dollars to private schools.

Awesome Principal, Leaders, and Best Teachers! The School has been in the area for many years. While it is easy for anyone to criticize someone on a personal level the truth speaks that the school has been growing every single year. People come and enroll their children year after year because of the atmosphere that school has set on. As a parent, our oldest child graduated and the younger child is enrolled now. The school will listen and do best what is in their power. Also, what I love as a parent is that the administration is taking the time and talking to children and not just getting them in trouble on the first strike. To have that much patience from the Administration team toward each child by itself is a big treasure that goes beyond many other factors that are less important.

This school is awful! They are taught to bully and hackle children during any type of sports game! The parents will bully all the children in the bleachers until the kids lose focus and that is their tactic! We have called the school and complained, and they choose not to listen! We have videos of parents cursing from the sidelines at our kids and calling their name! They create a very unsafe hostile environment for children!
