We have just completed our 5th year at Milestone's and can say very confidentally that we are pleased. My daughter graduated last year and sailed through her first year of public high school in advanced classes. She had an awesome jr high experience at Milestone's and entered high school with a great

He is happy and confident. We will be happily sending our 3rd child for Kindergarten there and it is the only school that I will recommend to people that ask. I run a Christian Preschool myself and understand the importance of holistic education in todays chaotic world. Read less

When I attended this school I would get good grades but mostly because the work was too easy for me. I didn't feel challenged enough. I also didn't feel welcome in the school. Most students were harsh and others were liars. The teachers didn't discipline students that seemed like a handful. The school

Students are encouraged to be creative. I would say this school is good for average and young students but not much for excelling students. Read less

I am both a teacher and a parent at Milestones. Our curriculum exceeds state standards and our children have fun learning. What more could you ask for? We have built a strong community filled with trust, love, and support. Our staff is dedicated to our students' academic and social success. We work

Milestones is a wonderful school. There is great communication between teachers and parents. Parents are encouraged to spend time in the classroom for activities like mystery reader and I enjoy that very much. The curriculum is good and the kids are happy. :o)

This is my child's second year here and I was extremely happy with her pre-k teacher. She was beginning to read when she finished. However, they have decided to job share her kindergarten class and the discipline in the classroom has never been acheived. The other concern I have is that there is no

We are very happy with Milestones. Our child is not only happy, but she tells us everyday the new things she have learned and enjoyed doing it. My daughter is in Ms. Tricia's 8th grade, she is an excellent teacher. Really--how many teenagers do you know who actually enjoy school and say they like

Milestones like any school has its good and bad. There are many extra curricular activities and teachers that care.

How a school without a computer lab is excelling is most perplexing to me. The computers they have are old and there are only about two per room. Milestone s does not have that many extra activities for students but they do have chess, volleyball, and a school news paper. I also wonder how many field
... Read more trips the student s experience? The after school pick up in the gym/cafeteria is dangerous and out of control. They put most of the students in there from k-8 and it is chaos. Students run around and throw balls. Smaller students get hit with the balls and also get knocked over. The principal, vice principal and special education coordinator are on a major ego trip and are very controlling. They belittle teachers in front of students and make fun of others including parents. The vice principal is unprofessional as she back stabs and slams dedicated teachers as well as students. The administration does not back up teachers hence the high turn over rate. The older students are well aware that they can manipulate the rules and play the tug of war game between administration and teachers. Some teachers at Milestones are very good but a select few lack couth and enjoy arguing and slamming other teachers in front of students. This school does not prepare students for high school and lacks leadership. I would not recommend Milestones to anyone at all. Not parents, students, or teachers. Read less
