My son has attended here for 4 years, the first 3 years he had to have multiple teachers because "permanent employees" were pregnant and out from October to March each year. Every staff member tells me my son is advanced, yet they refuse to test him in to a higher grade or at least provide him advanced coursework. Plenty of focus on 8 year olds who can't hold a pencil correctly, but no support for kids who are gifted. Also, the bus transportation is terrible. Most kids have to walk, but there is only 1 crossing guard in the entire village. There is no bus loop at the elementary school, the buses will block entry and exit daily. Staff will yell at you if you go in the wrong part of the parking lot, yet the parking lot is not labeled. Elementary students have to sit on the bus and wait for highscoolers to load, or unload. Your kindergarten will be on the bus with a senior, often for over 1.5 hours. It's NOT safe.

This school takes advantage of the fact there are very few private schools around and most people are working and still can't afford them.

This school's teachers with a few exceptions are very nice, and some students are okay. Admin doesn't care about your kids at all, claim that by cutting teaching positions and classes, which result in bigger class sizes and less help per individual student, it won't come at a detriment to students. If your kid is white, this school is probably gonna be fine, but if not, your kid is in for a ton of bullying and snide comments. People who aren't white also get more severe punishments than white people too. If it weren't for my few good friends and teachers I like, I would have gone somewhere else a long time ago. Parents were able to ban a GSA, so not LGBT+ friendly either in general. Nothing is being done about the drug problem, counselors do not keep conversations confidential (which I think is illegal) and teachers in general do nothing when bullying is happening right in front of them. Overall, not worth it unless you're white and straight, then I guess it's fine.
