This school is wonderful and the children are well taught. The staff are very nice and will greet you every time they get the chance to.
Posted by a community member on 4/30/2014All of the staff are very kind. The teachers will teach, educate, and do their job really well. We could really use the money for more school supplies though. We could have enough supplies for all of the children who go there because they deserve it. The children would really be grateful because the

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family has had a wonderful experience at the school. Our oldest son is now in his fourth year here, and this year our youngest joined the school for the first time. Watching both of them grow academically, socially, and spiritually has truly reinforced how special this community is.Academically, the school provides a strong foundation while still nurturing each child as an individual. One of the things we value most is the close-knit, family-like environment that only a smaller school can offer. Teachers and staff genuinely know the students and families, and that sense of care and connection is felt every day.The buddy program across grade levels has been especially meaningful for our boys. It creates opportunities for students of all ages to interact, learn from one another, and build lasting relationships, helping even the youngest students feel welcomed and supported from day one.We are also grateful for the high level of family involvement at the school. Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer their time, which strengthens the sense of community and partnership between families and the school. In addition, the recent cosmetic and technological updates, along with thoughtful curriculum enhancements, show a clear commitment to keeping the school current while honoring its values.The arrival of the new principal has brought a wonderful new energy to the school. Her ideas, enthusiasm, and positivity are evident throughout the community, and her leadership has made an already strong school even better. We feel truly blessed to be part of this school and are thankful for the supportive, nurturing environment it provides for our children.Parent Review4mo ago
