I do not feel administration does a very good job with always providing a safe learning environment. Too much violent behavior being let go at such young ages.

My children attend darden. I was very happy with their experience over all, compared to their last school. My children were happy, they didn't have many issues with teachers or students their grades improved. This took a lot of stress off of me. So far darden is a good school.
