Overall, very happy with this school in terms of educating my child. I am very pleased with the teachers and staff. Unfortunately, the elementary principal leaves a lot to be desired in terms of communication and caring for certain parents and staff.

We have been in the district for years. The other reviews were very accurate in addressing children with special needs or disabilities. Parents really have to "fight" to get their kids what they need. School loves to charge an arm and a leg for everything you can imagine. The elem. principal has no business being there; horrible customer service with parents. Middle school principal - OUTSTANDING!! Loves being there, thus kids love it there. AWESOME with parents. Teachers at both school are TOP-NOTCH. Kids are ahead of the rest in high school.

Three of my children attend Wolf Branch. I would say that the school emphasis on education. They are hardcore. They have no mercy if you are sick. They give you all the class work that your child miss along with all the homework when they were ill. Sometimes you will get 15 pages of Homework if your child was ill for one day. It can be frustrating. I gave this school 5 stars because the teachers are great. The children are competitive. It teaches your children to work hard and stay focus. There is no Private school that will do what this school does for your child. Education is the key to success and in this time in our society we need that push in education.

I love this school. Wolf Branch really emphasizes the academics. I feel my daughter is getting the best education possible. She loves going to school everyday. The teachers are great and very caring. I am so glad we chose this district. There is a lot of parent involvement, which also makes this district great.

All I can say is that if you have an above average child, you will love this school. However, if you have a child is avergae or below average and needs help, you will have many problems and a very hard time at this school.

I have two children that attend Wolfbranch, and we've had a good experience with my oldest child who started in Kindergarten. My youngest child attended the pre-k program which I felt was average. For the tuition charged for the pre-k program, I think there are more qualified programs available in the area that offer more academically and socially.

I think the teachers are very helpful with the children. This includes children that need to catch up with the class. The office is wonderful to deal with. I am very happy we moved here for this school.
