5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school. They have great programs for students and parents. They even celebrate grandparents. My children passed algebra and are now in geometry. The classes are advanced and challenge them. The teachers are engaged in instruction. The school has a new playground and the new principal has done a lot of beautiful things to update the school.Parent Review9mo ago - Chesterfield Tom Thumb Daycare Center
