School Reviews
5 9/19/2015
My son has been at Collegiate for 2 years now and we love the school. His teachers have kept him challenged academically, and even bumped him up a level in math because he was ready for it. The size of the school is so important. If I need to talk to his teachers, or the counselor, or the principal, they will drop anything to make time for me (and they actually know who my child is, not because he's a discipline problem but because they are small enough to know the kids). The building may not look like much from the outside, though improvements seem to be happening, but it's really the learning on the inside that counts and I'm very happy as a parent with my child's progress.
