My son has been attending this school since 1st grade and he is now going into 5th grade. We really enjoy this school, the staff here is so considerate and caring. The counselor is a blessing and give incredible care and understanding to the children. My son has been on an IEP since he started school and all the teachers involved stay well in touch with me and let me know of their concerns and also listen to my concerns and we work really well together as a team to support him the way he needs. I see teachers outside of the school and we always make conversations. The only unfortunate part is that the principal we've had is now moving forward in his career so we will have a change in the school with a new principal but we are excited to see what she brings to the school and community.

this school is not good at all teachers don’t do their job

Went online for a semester of my last year and the performance has been sub par. For starters, the school didn't let students change their classes on their (the ones they chose in April of the previous year) schedules at the beginning of the year. So students got stuck with classes they didn't need or want for a semester. Another consistent issue is at least once a day a class won't start the meetings (where online students go to start class.) The school uses a site called Big Blue Button which causes them frequent problems. The teachers don't really know how to teach online with all due respect. Not their fault but if you're going to have online students make sure your teachers know how to teach online classes. Communication is something they need to work on. Barely any interaction with online students and as a student who is trying to learn the subject, it makes it very difficult. It puts a lot of stress on kids my age and younger. I've had to try and teach myself on many of these subjects and it just doesn't work. It's not as though that they aren't aware about the struggles kids are having as they occasionally send out emails telling us that "we're stronger for the experience" (in regards to online learning). As a student, it's demoralizing to have your efforts be for nothing and for the school to know why. So, to summarize, don't send your children online at any point to this school. They will not receive anything from it except undue stress. Online schooling here does not put students in a good position to learn. 2/10 would not do again.
