I am now researching homeschool for my child, who is highly intelligent and well-behaved, because of the comments recently told to me by the principal. A parent should have every right to walk their child in school, park their car, or wait in line. She also called me about an issue with my child, not being understanding with the fact that some children are nervous their first year of school. This is completely normal! The school waits until the last minute for paperwork they need, which interrupts the parents time and students education. On a positive note, her teachers are very sweet and understanding. The nurse is also great! But this "my way, or the highway" attitude from the principal has me rethinking public school. After all, WE ARE THE PARENTS!

My child attended K here and is now starting 1st grade. We have a new principal this year and we hope that she will be a great as Mr. Fisher. Last year my child had Ms. Taylor and Ms. Wills they were absolutely amazing. My child is a "special needs" child although not severe enough to not be in a mainstream classroom. This school and all of its staff have been amazing and I would recommend them without any hesitation.

My oldest son who is now 13 attended this school for 6 yrs.from 1998-2004 {k-5}.The teachers at Page are absolutely excellent! My son loved going to school everyday.I used to go and eat lunch with him at least once a week and take my younger son and everyone was always so kind. The school is small and inviting. The principal could use some people skills, especially with parents, but overall we were very pleased with the school.

My niece started at this school in Pre K. Her teachers were absolutely great. The princepal takes great pride in his school. The grounds are always clean and neat. I think that because it is a smaller school children get more one on one with the teachers rather then at a larger school. I recommend this school to anyone. -W. Rice

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.
