School Reviews

Our first grader started there this year. I have been pleased with his improvements and his teacher's love for her students. He is a child that some would say is difficult, their discipline techniques have been efficient and have helped him have more great days than not. Their school counselor uplifts and improves mental/emotional health in ways that are beautiful. The principal is very organized, has a long history of education, and again truly loves the students and the school's growth. He often sits in on many classes to make sure the students and teachers are moving along in a healthy fashion. I would recommend this school to anyone.

This school has come a long way in the last couple of years. I heard they are now at their maximum capacity of 500 students under the new director. My children absolutely love it there!
