I usually don't comment online, however after reading the other review I felt I had to. My oldest child struggles in school and did receive mostly 2-3's. However, my other two children have gotten mostly 3+ or 4's. It may vary by teacher; and every child is different. Not all children should get 4's.

Excellent experience for the young ones as the school is very small and close knit. Have had several principals over my three kids, all have been excellent. Generally teachers have been excellent as well. A very good preparation for 2nd grade. Most of the lunch monitors cause more trouble then they are worth. Also, the report card ratings of 1-4 are a joke, no one ever gets a four, pretty much they give 2 and 3 with absolutely no comments.

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.
