Red Hill

We moved to the area this year and my daughter was only in the school for one year the academics considerably behind. She was often relearned things she had learned last year. We also dealt with bullying. Students calling her fat and even one incident where a student told her that she should kill herself for being Jewish. When my husband and I went to the school we were met with resistance by the principal and vice president because the student had been in there since kindergarten and not been in trouble. The incident was brushed off. They stated until they could prove what she said happened truly happened nothing could be done. Even after the student admitted to saying these things there was no punishment for the student who told her she should kill herself. I hope no child ever has to hear these horrible things at such a tender age. I am very dissatisfied with the way this was dealt with.

I have had two children at Starmaker. They full-time teachers are awesome and caring and there is a great mix of education and play. My children love the outdoor learning. The only negative is that there can be some turn-over with the support teachers.

St johns is not the school it use to be. Limited quality teachers, bullying is temporarily addressed and swept under the rug. If your child does not fit the “cookie cutter” way of thought, this is not the place for you. Will never understand how it is now a blue ribbon school given the amount of students that have left because of the declining educational value.

We have 3 kids attending, K-garden ,3 year olds, and 2 year old programs. It is such a happy place and has been such a positive influence on all of our children. They are learning while having fun and being happy!!
