GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
With the loss of several "old school" teachers over the last several years, this school has become more focused on numbers and not so much on reality. They will go as far as to brag about their elementary school stats during an awards program, implying they are one of the best schools around, when beyond elementary school, their academic proficiency is dramatically reduced and they have the lowest ranked middle and high schools in the area. In 2025, the special education program took a major turn in the wrong direction and overall, the quality of education decreases year by year with every teacher they lose. Not sure if something has gotten in the water or what, but in the last 7 years, I have watched this school go from, what I thought was the best school, to a school I wouldn't ever send my kids back to.

"The school here is awesome. They have a low teacher to student ratio so that kids can get all the help they need. we will have a new superintendent of school/high school principle this year. "
