I've had to transfer my oldest daughter from Dunbar to this school due to being bullied and suicidal ideation. When I transferred her here, she excelled, and is doing a lot better. Been here for 2 years now, with this our last year. Definitely recommend this school to parents looking for a great school for their children to excel. Just found out they have PreK and I'll be sending my two youngest here.

"I used to live in the area. The area is quiet, but ecletic. There are older and young families living in the area. Yes, people do tend to keep to themselves, but this is out of respect for each other personal space and diversity. It is the best kept secret in Charleston: feel you are in a hip area of the city without the expense of paying for it."
