With the loss of several "old school" teachers over the last several years, this school has become more focused on numbers and not so much on reality. They will go as far as to brag about their elementary school stats during an awards program, implying they are one of the best schools around, when beyond elementary school, their academic proficiency is dramatically reduced and they have the lowest ranked middle and high schools in the area. In 2025, the special education program took a major turn in the wrong direction and overall, the quality of education decreases year by year with every teacher they lose. Not sure if something has gotten in the water or what, but in the last 7 years, I have watched this school go from, what I thought was the best school, to a school I wouldn't ever send my kids back to.

This school is excellenty! From elementary through high school, everyone is involved in encouraging each student to do their very best. My two kids excelled there.

I have 2 kids at this school, both on IEP's and they have done amazingly well. My special needs son came to this school agewise in the 5th grade but at a low 1st grade level. 3.2 yrs later he is in the 8th grade, at grade level on the B Honor roll.
