Overall, it is okay. Classes are very full, 27+ kids in some classes. Some teachers resort to bribery to get good grades (candy, toys, etc), but teachers are pretty good and seem to care about the kids.

I have to agree that the classes are a little large for kindergarten. My son has above average intellect, but he also gets bored very easily and could use a little more attention than what he is afforded. I don't blame the teachers because they are doing what they can with a lot of five year olds in one room. Hopefully, the school will figure out a way to keep the same small school quality that is expected by families in the area.

Excellent school, great teachers. Building is bit old, but very functional.

Our experience has been extremely positive! I do worry about the growth in the area and the class sizes increasing, but the staff and teachers are first rate!

This school is growing too fast due to increased new neighborhoods in this district. The kindergarten classes all have 26+ students in them. The school has gotten so big that all parents are not welcome on fieldtrips, they draw 5 names per class to see who may go. If you have a special needs child, or one who needs a little one on one time each day, you will struggle to find it at this school.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
