We have loved this school. The teachers are fun and engaging and the kids come from a range of incomes. We have two able-bodied children without learning challenges so I can’t speak to the schools abilities with special needs, but we have loved our time with these teachers. The school itself is hist
Posted by a parent on 7/27/2022I do not recommend this school or district to anyone. They lack the resources and training to help the students with high needs. You are better off going to the other school districts in the area.
Posted by a parent on 2/7/2018This school is very active and fun to learn! The teachers have the right range for each grade and the students love this school ~ From a student named Jada Thomas :D
Posted by a community member on 7/2/2013The staff, community & principal are all very supportive, loving & caring. I have never known a community to be so involved in a school! The location is in a great upscale neighborhood(parking sucks) but they have a good "30 second" drop off for students.
Posted by a parent on 10/21/2011I was only in this school for one day, so I don't dare rate it a 5, but I will give you my first impression: I subbed one day, and I noticed: A very involved, happy, and friendly principal. An old, old school with narrow hallways and low ceiling, as well as music piped softly from the intercom in th

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter will be graduating 8th grade this year and has attended since preschool. Gagie has helped her become a well adjusted and confident teenager. She is extremely well prepared for high school. School curriculum far surpasses that of any public school.Other Review2y ago - Kazoo School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt’s noted in other school districts that kazoo kids can’t read when they switch schools. Lack of any real education. Bathroom situation is terrible with no gendered bathrooms and no working locks. When you make any complaint or raise questions about what they are doing, you will be made it the black sheep because your views aren’t the same as theirs. Avoid if you want your child to have an education. Not worth the price of admission.Parent Review9mo ago - Kiddie Korral Preparatory

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Montessori school has been the best experience for our children! It is a personalized, loving environment for them to learn and grow. Everyone at the school cares so much for each individual child. Our oldest attended for 2 years and our middle child is in his 3rd year at the school. We are so happy with the school and the experience our children have been able to receive!Parent Review9y ago
