It was amazing last year and years before that, but we got a new principal who made everything different and is not strict enough.

We don't have any of those things but maybe 2 or 3.... We don't even have some of those sports as my school. Most people just have to go to somewhere else for the sports they want.

I appreciate that it's a K-8 and small student population, which seems to keep it a close-knit community. Our daughter is in 6th and son i...

Large chunk of grades comes from spending time in front of a screen practicing math or reading on apps. Doing required number of lessons on the apps too fast means your gr...
