If you are a parent considering this school, please read this carefully.My son was part of the wrestling program, and the emotional and physical treatment he received from the coaching staff caused long-lasting harm. The environment was extremely unhealthy, and several students—including my son—experienced humiliation, unsafe weight-cutting demands, and psychological pressure far beyond what is acceptable for teenagers.The coach routinely pushed students to gain and lose weight rapidly, made degrading comments about their masculinity, and used intimidation instead of guidance. Promises were made to motivate them, only to be withdrawn later in a way that damaged their confidence and emotional stability.This was not discipline.This was emotional abuse and negligence from adults who should have been protecting our children.Years later, my son is still dealing with the consequences of the trauma he experienced there. He is not the only one—other former students have privately shared similar stories.Schools should be safe.Coaches should build character, not break it.I hope this review encourages the administration to evaluate how students are being treated and to ensure no other child goes through what mine did.

Our daughter went to Mills for her KG in 2024. The school is great! The staffs are very helpful and kind. We are not sure about her classmates. They were just kids, they always made comments on skin color of our daughter. Someone told her that her skin color is brown as potty. Someone took her coat we never found her coat from the school. We didn't know what happened to her coat. That was one of her favorite coats. We complained about all to her class teacher but we didn't know she did anything or not. Our daughter likes to go to school very much from beginning of her school life. Last year she didn't want to go to school anymore. I stopped to mail her teacher anymore about these. Because I thought she might think I am "making complaint about everything type mom". We told our daughter to stay low not to react or what else we could do. Our daughter was so sad to hear comments about her skin color specially. She never experienced this before as we moved from different state. She didn't like that school much neither did we.Skin color comments are really horrible and that makes kid very uncomfortable. She always asked me at that time why aren't all have same skin color? We were in rent at that time we moved after her KG and bought a home in different area.We went for Mills seeing it's reviews as moved from different state but didn't workout for us or rather for our daughter. We don't want to let any other kids to experience this like our daughter.Thank you.

Pros: teachers are highly qualified and have engaging lessons, the office staff are phenomenal, the band program is strongCons: Due to negligent admin, the school has a violence and substance problem. Students in 6th grade get beaten up regularly and their aggressors get a 2 day holiday which only teaches them to keep doing what they are doing. The classes are about 30+ students per class and there are several classes that have broken air conditioning and the school doesn't have the money for repair. The report card looks great. I predict that the new administration's lack of positive leadership and dismissal of school safety will cause problems in the near future. I gave two stars because I guess it could be worse.
