I love the education and experience my daughter is getting at Founders. It reminds me of my own schooling. The teachers have all be excellent and caring and able to give personal attention to each student. I'm so glad she is able to attend such a good school.

Do not recommend... had a terrible experience in this school. Threats with deadly weapons, bullying, lack of resources, politics in administration, and overall poor support for students.

I love the teachers and curriculum, but the administration is difficult to work with as they treat even parents like children. There is no mental health help and it has a poor special ed program once you get past elementary school.
