This school went downhill after they got the new principal mrs lemons. Doesn't know how to manage the school especially when it comes to bullying. Always “busy” to talk to parents but never fails to just walk around with her coffee. My child academic score didn't improve because of the lack of teach

Posted by a parent on 5/28/2024Lietz has been amazing for my special needs child.My child's teacher and principal both take a personal interest in his growth and development, as evidenced by the principal's frequent playground observations and interactions and the teacher's (nearly) daily classroom updates.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kid has been attending this school for over 4 years and this is a great elementary school. Easy drop off and pick up without waiting in lines, clean environment, and great teachers who pay attention and report regularly on the progress. Covid time was difficult but school managed to pull through and this year the stage performances and participation in contests have bounced back.The homework is an hour long and manageable. There are tests every week on different subjects keeping the concepts refreshed and even though my kid doesn't enjoy math as much as other subjects, still performs really well. Overall happy with the choice.Parent Review2y ago - St. Timothy's Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have 2 kids who have been going to Champion School since the age of 3. We have been through multiple locations of the school and more recently through the online school. Champion School is second to none when it comes to academics. They have a system that focuses on this while reducing the overall load on the student and parents.Champion's online school has been a life saver during the pandemic and continues to help save a lot of time for both students and the parents.Overall, in our experience of 8+ years, Champion gets an A+. If you need your children to be challenged academically without a lot of workload, this is the place to be.Parent Review2y ago - Appleseed Almaden Montessori School
