GREAT SCHOOL MY SON'S HAVE BOTH DONE EXCELLENT. AND HAD WONDERFUL TEACHERS. THIS SCHOOL IS VERY HELPFUL IN PROVIDING EXTRA SUPPORT WHEN NEEDED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CHILD TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL. BOTH MY SON'S WILL BE RETURNING FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR!!!!!!

I am very dissatisfied with this school. My children have attended the 09-10 school year. The Blue Ribbon Award for academics is a facade and does not give you a full view of the overall school environment. Please don't be fooled. They teach to test, not to educate or challenge their students. The classes were over sized, so there was no individual interest or attention given to help develop students. Even those with great potential!! There was a lack of consistent disciple especially for the older kids.The principle had no follow through, and didn't seem to know the pulse of activity in her school. We will definitely not be returning next year. :-/

I have heard a lot of good things about this school. So I decided to change my child back to Ira Harbison. The teacher noticed my daughter potential and was trying to accelerate her to higher level. However, for some reasons, the plan was cancelled. Anyway, I am very appreciate the teacher's afford. But I feel a little bit disappointed for the school.

I have had the privilege of coaching these very talented student athletes for the past for years. Under my leadership we have achieved co-championship titles and championship titles in cheerleading, football, basketball, soccer, and coed blooperball. With the support of family, friends, and administrators, none of this would be possible. Keep up the good work! and Thank You for making my job worthwhile. Coach, Michelle Miana

This is a great school. The teachers and the principal are dedicated and caring. They try to reach out to all students and guide them in a positive direction. The only thing that would make the school better would be more parental involvement! My children and I will definitely miss this school!
