Let me start by saying most of the reviews listed here are outdated.I've had two kids go through this school system. While 10 years ago (even 5 years ago) we did have issues, that has completely changed during the last 5 years. My children have received an excellent education from this division. The programs offered have increased exponentially. They have partnered with Virginia Tech for many STEM opportunities for students. They have a nationally recognized Robotics team. They are currently revamping their CTE offerings, which include a Criminal Justice track. They also have an outstanding culinary arts program. They also have three different dual enrollment tracks for students. The needs of Specual Education students are more than met, and they even have some SPED students that are graduating with advanced diplomas.The teachers and administration within the school are wonderful to work with. They truly put the students first. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff. Because of the small school population, there is opportunity for one-on-one attention when a student needs it without sacrificing the rigor or quality of education.I am not saying this is a perfect school, as no school is flawless. However, I am pleased with the education and attention afforded my child.

S.P. Morton is perhaps the worst school In which I have ever had the misfortune of setting foot. Our daughter attended Bright Starts there last year and was plagued with bullies, about which the teachers did nothing. Her teacher was arrested and suspended without pay for months, then reinstated without mention of the entire incident to her students' parents. The school is filthy and in shambles. There is NO security to speak of - any time we went to pick up our daughter we were to just walk right in, go by ourselves to her class and retrieve her. Halfway through the year, we withdrew her and homeschooled. We now pay $3,500 non-jurisdiction tuition for her to attend IOWC schools and we could n t be more thrilled!
