10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is the first year my child has attended this school and there is not a bad thing I can say about it.. But that could be because I am an active parent in my child's learning and teach her at home also. If my family doesn't move to Texas this summer I will for sure be enrolling my other children in this school.Parent Review9y ago
