Loved the school when i was there. It was a place full of learning not just texts but of life


Posted November 24, 2007

Wonderful school. I have three children who are current students and one former student. I couldn't ask for more. With 9 children and plenty of experience at several other schools, I think this is the best I've seen both academically, extra-carricularly and supportive. Ten stars from me.

We moved here from Middletown, Ohio and after being here 2 years, I have a son at the elementary school(5th grade) and a daughter at the high school(11th grade). There are a lot of benefits to being in a smaller system, but there are also oppurtunities lost in less choices in classes and diversity of population. But the school and the students seem to have been very welcoming to both of my children. The administrators and teachers seem very hands on when working with and helping the students. The thing that is missing is that in Ohio my son attended a charter school for children with ADHD that was excellent consisting of in house Boy Scout program, Kung Fu martial arts, and weekly educational field trips. And there might be improvement in school to parent information to help parents to be more involved. Truly a good school that could be better.
