I wouldn't give this school any stars. Over the past 3 years the parents of children in the school had been told so much was going to happen. Nothing did. There were so many changes each year I am surprised that the children lasted as long as they have. There is no support from any other school in the area.

Due to numerous staffing changes and poor leadership over the past 3 years, the program has suffered tremendously. The lack of vision and stability makes it a school that I could not recommend. We once had a very positive program where parents were included and welcome as an integral part of the program. Under the current leadership, parents have not been respected or included.

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.
