I am so glad i go to this school. This is my first year at saas and *wheew* it was so hard in the beginning and not knowing anybody was hard too especially when you have to sit near all of these 7 graders too. But as you go along through the marking periods you get to learn about everybody and you

In the past, if asked if i had ever recieved anything beneath an a, i would have found this question both ludacris and remotly offensive.

To demonstrate this, last year, when learning about Pre- History in Social Studies, we found ourselves crawling through a cave to retrive artifacts that could tell about life at that era. The teachers are approachable and want you to succeed (although they really hold your feet to the fire.) My years in this small school have really paid off academically. Read less

Awesome school. If is mostly for kids who excel in school in many areas. The teachers make the students responsible for their work and I feel my son has really grown up and done very well. He gets average grades now, he was a straight A student before attending this school. I would recommend it to

I am a parent of a current 8th grader. I have found her experience at the school to be exceptional. She hates to leave the school. The school incorporates all the classes in their study of topics. For instance, In reading class they read a book ('Hatchet') about a boy who's plane crashed on his way

There is also interscholastic sports. Overall, the best Middle School around...good luck in the lottery getting in the school held in Jan. each year! Read less
