I loved this school. I can guarantee that you kid has an amazing time here. I wish I was still in elementary, because of how amazing this school was. They always make sure parents are informed when things (bad or good) happen. It's a very small school, which is good for kids that have social phobia (or social anxiety)
2 2/24/2020
In my opinion there is too much bullying going on and I don't think the children have enough one-on-one time. Majority of the day all the other activities are interrupted, not enough teaching going on. Homeschooling next year.
