The environment is awful they never showed me the lunchroom/basement before she enrolled when I asked to see the school. Well let me tell you it is horrible. It stinks and it is dirty. I was in awe. They do not put any money into the school to make it a better environment. It was the worse decision I have made. I am currently looking into finding her a new school because this one is unacceptable. Read less

I am extremely disappointed in this school. I feel I am not getting my money's worth. My daughter has attended this school for the last 2 years and each time I went to the school I was dissapointed with the teachers as well as the Principal & staff and the children always seemed to be out of control,

I thought because it was a private christian school it would be alot more structured than what it is but often times the children were running around wild & unsupervised at dismissal time. For the last year my daughter was struggling in class but they seemed to just pass her along without following thru with any request I may have had pertaining to her progress. I'm currently in the progress of finding a new school for my daughter. Read less
