Found it to be a little too clique for a 'Christain' school. People who can afford the school (w/out help) drive their hummers etc., and tend to look down on those who aren't 'upper scale'. Have to keep up or feel left out feeling. Sigh!
An excellent program! The teachers and administrators are caring and nurturing. What a blessing it is to our family to be a part of this school. The families we have met are an added bonus.
This school offers great academics with small classroom ratios. Children learn in a positive and caring environment. Most students exceed expectations on tests and are taught character development.
Administration is caring, helpful and efficient. Parents are the same. My sons teacher is excellent and tailors the kids lesson to their abilities. It is a very safe, thoughtful community of people.
Academically, the school is outstanding. Other than that, the school offers no other activiities. Their test scores are high but skewed because student must into the school. Therefore, they do not deal with 'average' students like the public school do. My kids had problems there because of the school's lack of diversity. If you want your kids to get ahead academically send them there but they will lack socially.
