Will never recommend this school, this school has changed my child a lot. Teachers at this school are mean and like to bring kids down. They’re the reason why my child has a bad mental health. The teachers have talked about my child, treated my child bad, and never gave her the help she needed.
Posted by a parent on 7/18/2025The changes the school is making is not up to my standards. The teachers have been doing a great job and should not be changed around. Some teachers are really good at teaching younger children and should stay in those grades. Taking away an entire grade from a teacher so that they are no longer tea

Posted by a parent on 11/19/2018Horrible. Worst school we have been to.
Posted by a parent on 5/24/2018Teachers are mean. I sat in class one day because of an event going on and I could not believe how teachers treat our kids!! I asked my daughter if her teacher treated her this way and she said only if she didn't know how to do something!!! I felt horrible as soon as I could I got them out

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a son in attendance at this school and they have been nothing but helpful and supportive of him. He has an IEP, needs special education, OT and speech, plus he attends ABA Therapy in the afternoon which the school has allowed a special schedule for him to attend. He also requires some extra help with bathroom needs as he was born with a form of spina bifida, which the school had accommodated and taken care of for us since he was 4 years old. There is one special education teacher in particular that we love and supports our son with care. We would definitely recommend this school for special education but also for any other child.Parent Review11mo ago - Academy of Accelerated Learning

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children were bullied by teachers and staff, my son has autism and has a hard time telling me about his day. I learned he wasnt allowed to read an animal book because it wasnt a chapter book and since he didnt pick one out he was given a chapter book in SPANISH. He asked if he mixed his slime enough but because they weren't supposed to be talking he had to wait until last to pick the color he wanted. My daughter was bullied on a regular basis and the teacher did nothing about it. Both kids developed low self esteem and mental health issues. After 3 years of that I am now homeschooling what they have gone through at this school is by definition discriminationParent Review4mo ago - Honey Creek Elementary

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery highly. The Principal and teachers at this school do an excellent job because they love what they do. It is an excellent school for a Christian education. The teachers live up to what they teach. They do several fun events through the year which makes it nice for the students and parents to get involved.Parent Review5y ago - St Pauls Lutheran School
