In accordance with the reenrollment deadline, I requested to unenroll/withdraw my students for the 2026/2027 school year. The school replied by saying they would keep them on the roster. I think that speaks for itself.

The best part of my school is the community. It is a private Christian school, so it allowed for me to have relationships with other Christians. Since it is smaller, the people are more tightly knit. It's so easy to become friends with you teachers and the other staff. A bad thing about the size is that it gets more crowded every year. Another bad this about the size is that rumors, news, and stories travel quickly. I don't believe there has ever been a well kept secret in my school. I would like to see more APs and dual enrollment opportunities available. Also, I would like to see more different language classes being offered. There are a fair amount of clubs, but not a lot.

Our children have been in the school for 8 years and we are happy with the education, with the biblical teaching, the great community and with the leadership. The leaders are truly passionate about caring for the students and seeing them become the next generation of Godly leaders in their community...

Horrible. Administration lacks leadership in oversight of their teachers misbehavior in disciplinary procedures. It is unacceptable for ANY Teacher to lay a hand on a child, definitely not by the neck.
