I am a parent who has a child that goes to this school I will list the pros and cons I hope somebody will find this helpful. Pros. The school is small and so are the classes there is onlt one 1st grade one 2nd grade and so on. The principal is great I have even witness her pick up a child who mother had car problems just so that child would not miss school. I thought that was awesome. The school work is actually very up to par and ahead of our California school we came from. Okay now the cons..I have seen some stuff go on I.e. kids picking on other kids also some if the teaching I disagree with I think sometimes they cam be a little harah with thier words I also have had problems getting after school help was told could not do it for weeks when the problem needed to be addressed right away or my child would have been very confused when it came to math. I am not the only parent who has had this issue. I did leave one thing out on the pro list they do require parents involved with the school so rather than a tuition you give hours for your child ti go there I am big on being active in my child's education so for me great.

I went to Big Pine High School from 1976 -1979 it was grate school! keep the good work .
