School Reviews
5 5/23/2022
We moved here as a military family in 2021 and our friends encouraged us to consider STARS. We could not be happier. They meet both our gifted and our delayed children exactly where they are. They teach them so many things that most schools don''t: programming, violin, theatre, gardening, etc. Our kids are super happy there - they have friends and I never hear about bullying. The school has helped bring up my delayed child to grade level, offering extra Friday sessions and even summer school. He feels really positive about school and his teachers. Then, my gifted child has the chance to go to a higher class starting 3-4th grades. I can''t recommend stars highly enough! We will be sending our third son to kindergarten without hesitation.
