10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is very competitive for honor students and is excellent in liberal arts, especially in English and History. However, the opportunies for advanced STEM studentds are very restricted. For example, STEM students can not take 2 AP Science classes until the Senior year, and school does not participate in US Science Olimpiads. The emphapsis on discipline is too rigorous in some areas - students are heavily penalized for being late even 1 minute to a class.Parent Review13y ago - County Road Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has become a toxic environment where students are not supported—they are targeted. Instead of protecting children, the administration and some teachers single them out, bully them, and treat them like criminals rather than kids trying to learn and grow. There are clear issues with creating an unfair and hostile atmosphere.What’s most alarming is the lasting damage being done to students’ confidence and mental well-being. Self-esteem is being torn down instead of built up. Many parents and students are deeply frustrated and disappointed—but many parents are also afraid to speak up publicly. Behind the scenes, however, it’s a different story: families constantly talk about how much they distrust and dislike the administration and school.This is not a safe or healthy place for children. The leadership’s behavior is unacceptable, and serious, immediate change is needed.Parent Review4mo ago - Luther Lee Emerson School
