Results is the drive. My children have SAT scores in the 90% percentile. When my 5 yr started the year, she couldn't read. Now she is at least 2nd reading level in one academic year. I appreciate the dress code for both teachers and students. It shows respect from students and professionalism in teachers.

I was not at all impressed with this school. If you are a working parent you can forget about seeing your kids perform in talent shows and Christmas program. You will also miss science fairs and art shows. They do all of their activities during the day. I would also look at their reading program if you

A Quote from this article it is so flagrantly dangerous, damaging and destructive I am appalled at its existence. You can also expect a new fund raiser about every month.

A terrible waste of money! This school is one of the worst we have ever experienced. The teaching methods are so out of date and rigid. Each child is expected to work in a box, study on their own (5 yr olds), with no one-on-one guidance and assessment. Teacher turnover is terrible. Self-explanatory,

The building is out of date and bathrooms always smell. As for an education, our daughter was a year behind after leaving this school. Thank goodness her new school has been able to catch her up. They don't promote a healthy learning environment. I wouldn't dream of sending my child to this school again. Read less

Rigid indeed! Bland sit-recite-write approach may help some, but lack individuality and conflict with nearly all research & age-developmental findings. Teachers aren't asked to do things, they are told. Strict schedules forbid expansion on topics kids are excited about. Parental and teacher input is

A very rigid school. Dr. Reid's notion of education is that all kids learn the same way. It's a one-size-fits all concept of education that goes against the grain of most all research. Dr. Reid is not friendly or accessible to parents in general.
