This is the worst school I have ever seen. The tuition is crazy. Though initially it is an average private school price, they dont tell you that it doesnt cover your child's whole educational experience. You have to participate in the two candy/pizza sales, which are supposed to offset your tution. Yet it really doesnt offset it. Either you raise the $400 or you pay an additional $400 which will be added onto your tuition at the end of the year. The teachers are terrible, they dont ever alert you about your child's progress, or do followups with the families. They make you pay for trips, where you must drive your child to the destination (no buses), then pay for anything your child does on the trip, such as tickets, concerts...why did you pay? You could have taken them yourselves! Then on top of that Plus a bad education!

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

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.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
