I was a student at this school little over four years ago and my experience was exceptional. My first year here was fourth grade and I have to say that it was probably my most difficult year by far. The teacher was harsh and not understanding at all. She even had a reputation of being the meanest and even had a rumor that she threw a chair at a student before. Fifth grade was great in my opinion. I enjoyed that year a lot, but nothing compares to my experience in sixth grade. Sixth grade was by far my best year. The teachers were astonishing and we had a trip to CIMI. CIMI is one of my favorite experiences in my entire life. I still talk to the people who shared a room with me today. I learned a lot during this trip. Overall, I would reccomend.

Schools should not be engaging students—especially middle school children—in political turmoil. Even though I personally may disagree with the current political climate, I do not believe it is appropriate for schools to encourage or allow children to protest issues they do not fully understand.Education should focus on teaching critical thinking, knowledge, and character—not promoting political bias or pushing the personal views of teachers or administrators. The world already has more than enough conflict; schools should be a place of learning and unity, not a starting point for more division.While the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, children are still developing emotionally and intellectually. Encouraging political protests at such a young age does not mean they truly understand the issues—it often means they are simply repeating what adults around them believe.Schools should educate, not indoctrinate.

We had 2 children go to and excel at Uni in the ‘90’s.The first was The Valadictorian and was accepted to and went to Harvard. Our younger one went to and excelled at Cal/BerkeleyWe never had to worry about our kids and did not spend any $$$ on tutors.Thanks for the Great Education and most appreciative of the Faculty who made it easy for us to be successful parents.
