I'm a parent of two children at the school and have only had good experiences. When there was an issue I was concerned about, it was quickly rectified. This year, they have introduced an opportunity for students to take music lessons, there is basketball, the play, choir, etc. As with everything, it is what you and your child make of it. As far as the concern of the person below regarding special ed - all students deserve attention. The children at SCS who receive special ed are by no means in the full spectrum that you would find in a public school. A little charity and compassion would go a long way.

Why does this chool put so much emphasis, time and money into their special ed program? It is not a public school and I'm wondering where they are getting the funds to support children with learning disabilities. Is the increase in 'learning center' staff prohibiting the principal from granting good quality salaries for the non-special ed teachers? I'm questioning if adminstration is also providing as much attention to the non-special ed students as well.

As a parent of an scs student (I am considering pulling out this year) I cannot help but concur with the last review. Something is very wrong withthe administration of this school. The principal seems false and full of (fake) religious zeal. Teachers leave mid-year -usually the better ones. Important issued brushed aside and not addressed. Hypocrisy and low standards rule.

The administration is sadly lacking. Morale is down. The is no teacher continuity in the middle school. Rules and regulations are made up at whim. It is not a good environment. Three children are now done and I am so glad to be leaving the school community.
