Our experience at this school exceeded our expectations. The teachers take great care to individualize programs for the students. The reading program was superb and I would reccomend it to all elementary children. I did find some apathy amongst parents at this school, but it could be a result of such a diverse socioeconomic grouping in this area. We had a great overall experience and think that anyone considering private school over this school, is doing a grave injustice to their children.

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.
