I've had my children at this school for two years now. The school is small and offers small class sizes. My children fee safe and like going to school. The school ofered many field trips this school year. All of them were free at no charge to parents or students. My children also participated and went to an Art Studio twice this year. They did not have a music program but students did lots of art. My youngest child improved her reading scores. Th school is strict and does not put up with discipline problem students. This is why my children feel safe at the school. The principal is always available when you need to reach him. At the moment the school is a Performing School. My children will return next year.

Do not send your child here!!!Unfortunately, all of the below is true. I, too, sent my son to this school hoping for a great experience. The teachers do leave without any word, some of the teachers are just plain out rude to you and even though you tell the administrator and he says that he and his supervisor have spoken to the teachers and written them up, nothing changes. Son is behind now and hates going to school.

My son is ADHD and Bi-Polar. I enrolled him 3 years ago with high hopes, as the former director was a wonderful woman with great skills. She disappeared, no word what had happened to her. After that chaos broke out. I stayed loyal, even enrolled my second child. I am taking both my children out of the school for many reasons. One of the biggest reason is, I could not get a hold of the staff in case of an emergency, the office was often not occupied. Another problem was that teachers came and went. No explanation to the parents. The principal is a sweet person, but I think he lacks leader skills.
