I learned but only at home. The teachers would give us one assignment then sit at their desk the whole class

I think that the school is a good school. However I don't think it's a great fit for my son. I have been told by teachers that because my son is very active that they cannot just focus on him. I know my son has the ability to learn, but teachers need to be open to different ways of teaching. Because of this I'm not sure how well my son will be prepared going into the fourth grade.

Once you reach middle school, they offer basketball ,track and softball. I have never attended any games because my son currently doesn't play.

Both of my sons attended this school, and our entire family truly loved this place. The director is exceptional, always engaged and super nice to kids and parents. It is also a very safe school which in these days is very important.

Principal is the worst. Its his way or the highway students and staff. They need to let him go and hire someone who will not lie to cover himself.
