Words cannot describe how amazing this school is. My son just went to kindergarten there. The entire staff truly goes above and beyond to not only come up with the most awesome projects and mentally stimulating ideas, but they involve the parents more than anywhere I've ever seen. I would recommend this school over anywhere in the US! Every school across our country needs to try to be just like them! The love and care they dedicate to all of the children is the epitome of what a great learning experience should be. I'm so happy my son got a chance to go here.

Teacher to parent communication is horrible for multiple reasons. I've reached out about details of parent volunteering with no help. Parents aren't told when they are allowed to come to any class parties with (more than one time) left my child crying because I didn't come. My child missing things for class and I wasn't told for over a month. Sending notes to the teacher doesn't work because I never get one back. Emailing the teacher and never get a reply. I dont know what half of the school little tasks are like walking Wednesday's, integrity time and the soar store and many more because they were never explained to me. Her teacher is sweet and she loves the school.. But when it comes to communicating with parents, it's terrible. I never felt less involved in my child's education than when I moved here. The only communication I have is the word of mouth from my child and that's not good enough.

This school feels like a prison and numerous other parents have said their children cry about school now. What good is an academically challenging school when children hate going there?
