My child has been attending this school since kindergarten. Although the school is small, my child has been challenged both mentally and physically throughout his education here. He excels in his academics primarly because of the smaller, less intimidating class size. This allows for more 1 on 1

There could be a little more organization and notification of parents that can't be involved at the school every day due to full-time jobs, but I've never had a problem speaking with a teacher after school hours. I also appreciate the strict dress code, behavior disciplinary actions, and the use of corporal punishment where needed. Teachers should have more control over students, not the other way around.
