This school’s communication with parents is awful. Buses are always late and they don’t tell you until after they’re 10-20 minutes late. They are very disorganized and there is a lack of transparency, parents are not welcome into the school. The special needs classrooms are anything but special. The
Posted by a parent on 9/5/2025Great neighborhood school with teachers that care about the children. Kids have fun going to school but are in a good learning environment.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePoor. In the process of trying to work through some issues with our child we were told our child could not come back. Mind you it was here that our child was choked out by another student. If your child is perfect and presents no issues this school will be fine. If your child presents any struggles you will be told the public school would be a better place and they are not equipped to help. I simply do not recommend this school.Parent Review7y ago - Zion Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, I personally would not recommend this school. My child did not have a positive experience here, and I felt like communication and support could have been much better. Some staff members were kind, but overall the environment was not the right fit for our family. I would encourage other parents to look into all options before deciding.Parent Review1w ago
