Noted strength in home-school communication. Teachers are very knowledgeable about current research. Many classroom have non-traditional seating like wobble stools and yoga balls in addition to chairs. Administration is fair and easy to talk with. Motto is "Make Success Happen". Very secure facility.

I have received zero feedback from this school concerning my child. I have missed numerous activities that have taken place because of this. The teachers don't monitor the students. Teachers just let the kids basically do whatever they want. Please do not send your kids to this school.
