My son enrolled there last year. It was late in the year but he LOVED it. My daughter will start this fall in kindergarten. Our family is excited to become a part of the Model community.

My son is a former student of the school. He is a high school senior now and will be attending a good college this fall. Most of the teachers at the school worked well with my child; however, we were sorely disappointed with the opportunities presented him. We found the administrators to be a bit difficult to deal with, sometimes even unreasonable. At this school the stress is apparently on test scores, certainly not on the 'whole' child. We found it an oppressive environment for our son.

My two girls are learning so much! We had straight A's in the second grade the 1st nine weeks plus all S's and E's in the 1st grade. The teachers are always so good to call me when ever I havae a question concerning our children. Mr. Bethune and Mrs. Fellers are great in their areas as principal and asst. principal. Same as with the teachers...always available to discuss any concerns we may have.
