Our school is overcrowded, but the district has found a way to work around that. Kids take attendance in one class and then go to another class for all the core subjects. Parents' complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Our test scores are getting worse by the year. If you want your child to do well in
Posted by a parent on 9/12/2017Some teachers are very professional to lead students, but some are not. I've been over heard and also experienced some teachers' unprofessional reaches. Sometimes those treats students like as if he/she is a juvenile delinquent in front of other students. It also makes parents so intimidate. I am no
Posted by a parent on 4/11/2017Very Pleased with this school. Parent community is very friendly. Children are appropriate and the office manager is best. If you want to know about a school, check out the office manager's disposition. Once I spoke to her I knew this was the school for us.
Posted by a parent on 8/29/2013This school has done an amazing job with everything. They have helped my students be overachievers. The whole staff are just the sweetest people I've ever met.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOnce a great school with a strong, rich history. However, sadly over the last decade it has crumbled. The environment is toxic. The school teachers don’t hold proper credentials and the principal doesn’t either. The principal is rude, manipulative and not a good fit for a Christian school. She works through parents that she favors and gives them financial aide while other families who need the support are denied. The principal uses parents to do her dirty work and rallies them to attend school board meetings to arm wrestle the school board- which is made up of church volunteers. The place is a mess. We withdrew our children. There is never an exit interview to actually share your family’s experience. The parents are cliche and run the school. The school culture is one of prima-donnas and elitists, yet they lack sophistication. As a parent I felt like I was part of a mean girls club and that just is not who I want to be. The principal by far is the head mean girl/queen bee. The place is not safe either. The preschool is small and well run and I would recommend. I think enrollment increased after the pandemic, but is declining as parents recognize this isn’t a healthy school.Parent Review9mo ago
