My son goes to this school. The staffing shortages are scary this year. It is frustrating because there is very little communication with his classroom teacher due to COVID. I have never even seen the inside of his classroom which concerns me; also I have only received two teacher classroom news letters. Again I know absolutely nothing about what goes on during my kiddos day when he is with his main teacher. I give this school a 5 star review because the elementary special educator is AMAZING at her job. She is very intelligent and so professional. She is so motivated and driven to help my son succeed, she is a parents dream. I cannot speak highly enough of her and the elementary special education program she heads up!

I have been very pleasantly surprised. With one exception my son has had great teachers who challenge him and demand a lot from him. I am fortunate that he is driven to succeed and I have to do little prompting. Academics appear to be very strong and the curricular activities fun and well attended. The Nordic and Track teams had a huge influx of participants this year which speaks well for both the students and the school. The one bad experience was a teacher who demanded a lot but basically we found out that she took most of her material right off the internet. It appeared like she was a hard worker until we found that out. Once my son did it was easy for him to master what she wanted.
