Very diverse student body. Students and staff helped make an easy transition socially from public school. Teachers were loving and kind but didn't hold high enough expectations or hold students accountable. Grading standards were very lenient and based on multiple homework passes. Disappointed the bar was set so low academically. Cell phone use and foul language went unchecked as well. Not our best private school experience.

I really liked how small this school was. I got to know all my classmates and become good friends with them. Sports teams were awesome because everyone had a chance to play and everyone made the team. The downside was a lack of extracurricular activities and different classes (e.i. the only foreign language offered was Spanish). This review is based on the years of 2003-2007.

I love this school. I was able to transfer here during my junior year and love it ever since. The school is very small yet it's suprisingly so diverse in ethnicities and races. The students and teachers are all really close like one big family.

I have always walked in and been attended to immediately. The teachers, the staff, the director and all very accommodating. I just love the atmosphere of the environment. You see kindness in every face. These people really care!

The teachers are good and they seem to care about their students. However, the office staff in the elementary office is rude, unwelcoming, and unprofessional. This is a Christian school and its sad to say that the staff behaves in this way.

This preschool cannot be beat for value for your dollar. The prices are very reasonable for full-time childcare and you get so much for it - music, spanish, field trips, lots of special events and summertime fun after the 'regular school year' ends. I have loved having my daughter there since she wa...
