I wouldn't be able to recommend this school. The bus frequently goes by our house without stopping, causing my daughter to often miss the bus. We frequently receive bogus letters about her missing too much school-only missed two days in an entire year or less! In addition, they have the students sha...

There are so many half days, and they award students that don't deserve it, so much bullying going on that my child is scared to go to school. Life Prep's motto is a lie, "learning and a family environment". The bus drivers hate kids, and the uniform policy is there for decoration, don't forget the...

I appreciate that homework is given everyday for kindergarteners because that's the reality of school & life...
