Teachers and counselor answered my questions on the same day.

This school is the best. I know a lot of people look at the test scores, but I don't care about that test. It means nothing to me. I am far more interested in the daily culture of the school. How is my son treated? Is he safe? Is he learning? Is he academically where he's supposed to be at? School is a second home for children and it should have an amazing culture with a positive learning environment. I want my child to have an amazing educational experience and Preston delivers. I only have three real complaints and there more related to stupid district policies and the way the district spends money. We don't get to celebrate Halloween and there isn't a bathroom inside the TK classroom. We also aren't allowed to bring outside food to school. That means we miss out on a lot of fun teachable moments like celebrating and talking about the first Thanksgiving, Halloween parties, Valentines parties and end of the year parties. Love the school, but hate the district.

Overall this school is terrible, to put it simply. There is a lack of equity and access due to the "alpha scholars" program they're now implementing. If you're unaware of the program, essentially it's tracking. A group of students apply and if their test scores, grades, and personal statements meet expectation, they're put in an "elite" class of 36 which have most all of their classes together. To make the situation worse, they close off certain classes to this one class of students. For example, AP Human Geography, and AP European History are only available to these 36 students on a campus of 2000+. This is ridiculous considering that the school focuses their efforts on these students. They cannot honestly say that they are giving their other students an equal or adequate education. Their job is not cater to simply 36 students but the whole student population. This school needs to work on their ability to educate their whole student population rather than promoting a culture of busy work and "just-getting-by". Instead of teaching their students to fish, they give them a fish. Overall is incompetent in providing a college-ready education. (OH, by the way, there reason their honors/ap program is so big and so many students are enrolled, is because they encourage EVERYONE to take them, and then make the classes overly easy. It's no wonder so many people would take "honors" classes when they're not a challenge or rigorous in the least bit.) Do yourself a favor and don't send your kids here.
