While this school has a strong role model as a principal, some of the teachers at this school seem to be very complacent. The classroom that I was able to observe was definitely lacking. I observed in a classroom with children grades 3-5. All students were WAY below grade level. The entire time I was there, minimal effort was made toward bettering these children. They had their feet on the desks, they had no obligation to rules, and walked and talked whenever they wanted. I was very disappointed with the way this classroom was run. I was also disappointed in the lack of effort put into these children by the teachers, as well as the lack of actual WORK being done in the classroom. It was not an out-of-control class by any means, but they surely didn't learn a thing in that room. I was highly disappointed.

I have been an educator for a number of years. I have been blessed to have spent the last five years at WOW. WOW has a core group of dedicated teachers that have been with the school since the school inception. We have the most supportive parents and great children. Look for additional greatness from this school program.

The school is excellent as far as being family oriented. I think if more parents were involved - we could bring the test scores up - we need to make this world a learning spot for all of our children. We need to show them that there is more out there than what they are seeing - they need to know we can teach them to be whatever they dream they can be. WOW does this for my children.

My daughter has attended WOW for 3 years. She is now in the 2nd grade. Every teacher she has had,Has been Wonderful, All the of staff and teachers at Wow really care about the students. I would love for Wow School to expand grade levels to 8th grade. so that my daughter would be able to attend Wow until she goes to High School. I would like to give the Teacher a Big hand for all of their hard work. Wow is a wonderful School because they have Teachers, Staff,and Parents like myself that really care about my childs education. OH, by the way my daughter is in the 2nd grade, reading on a 3rd grade level. NOw that's something to say WOW about! Thanks from a Caring Parent.
