I wouldn't have my child go anywhere else. As a parent that attended both public and private (SCDS) schools here in Savannah, education is of the upmost importance to me.

Of course, my daughter gets music, theater, and dance at our Church, which balances it all out.

I have two children in the school. They have attended since kindergarten and are now in middle and high school.

Extracurricular activities: plenty of sports, nothing else except one play, no clubs. Parent involvement: They have a PTO don't know what they do. Safety and discipline: 4 years ago a girl almost got abducted, since then they put up a fence. Overall quality: in the 7 years that I went there. they put up a new gym, practice field, and a huge score board. If you want your kid to learn don't send them here. Read less
