All three of my children had to leave this school. 60% of the students are getting high everyday. Reaching the school is very hard we tried over and over for independent study. We had high hopes and I don’t recommend this school.

This really is a great school. All of my children love it. They are growing not only academically, but emotionally and socially. Teachers are all amazingly communicative. I know what each child is studying every week. We came from schools rated all 10s and didn’t have this much communication and interaction with the teachers. The staff, teachers and community all work together to strive for the same goal- what’s best for the children. And we’re all led by a principal who leads with heart and leads by example. In addition to making the big school decisions, he’s out there daily helping to direct traffic, subbing for teachers and watching and interacting with children in the library until late at night so that all parents can attend their children’s back to school night. We love it here.

This school is wonderful and any child is lucky to attend. The Children are extremely friendly, staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. I even got a personal reminder phone call that it was early day, which was such a personal touch. If your child has special needs, and individual plant is put into place immediately and your child’s need will be met. I live the small town feel if this school, and how they encourage outdoor play.
