Great, great school! Excellent teachers! Wonderful athletic program.
Even though the school has limitations due to funding and enrollment, they are willing to offer the students the best they can with the available resources. When enrollment increases the school can offer more opportunities to students and more activities. I think they are doing very well with what they have to work with. Has anyone thought about private donations for school improvement? It really takes a lot to manage property, but when you have more people utilizing property the wear increases. Praise the school for its accomplishments and that they have stuck by their school and commitment to the students through the rough times so that students and parents are afforded a choice of where their children can attend school. For those negative comments, they could have been attending the public school where the better teachers are but instructional time is interupted by behavioral issues.
Its a small private school so it has limited funding so they can't do everything. But that said, the teachers are very nice and the learning environment is good. They teach more then is taught in the public schools and my child who is just going into kindergarten already knows many of his site words, can read and do math. I work full time so he learnt alot there. The preK and K teachers and very kind and communicate with the parents well.
Great School. Small classes means teachers help students more. Good athletic program. Helped me prepare for college.
i think the teacher quality is poor. the teachers are paid very little, so the best teachers go to other schools. as a result, i think the quality of the education is poor. the kids would be better off going to the public school in the town. not many people is the town are college educated, and the school doesn't seem to place much importance on preparing kids for college. i think people there are proud simply for getting a h.s. diploma.
This school has a small class size which increase teacher to student ratio, and learning abilities. Although it is a small school and my not provide higher education classes, it prepares you for entry level college class.
school looks old and rundown. very small class size. few extracurricular activities/sports teams. very 'small town' feeling. compared to bigger, well-run schools in larger towns, the quality of the education is poor.
