I absolutely love this school! All 4 of my children go to this school. Soon will be 5 when my youngest is able to start Kindergarten!!
The staff is beyond helpful and nice. My sons case manager is such a beautiful soul. Never have I had so much help and compassion from a group of "strangers". They truly put the kids needs first. My children are always looking forward to going to school, which gives me a sense of calmness and relief.

If my child isn't progressing the communication and suggestions on what to do could be better.

Each night them is Math and Reading. I fell most is too repetitive and doesn't have much variation but it is a good amount

They want the kids to be "Pax" leaders and show leadership. They jump to conclusions before getting to the bottom of the issue.

The communication is not as great as it should be. The first day of school the counselor was yelling at the kids already. They have this new program about being leaders and although it's a great idea children are still CHILDREN. There is poor communication with the staff and parents when anything happens. Not fond of this school at all.

The school is in a very nice community and the teachers are caring, however, the school does not adequately prepare students for middle school. Homework is very minimal, even in the 5th grade. If we did not enforce our child to read on her own, and work with her on math, she would not have been prepared for middle school.

My Son studying in the school in kindergarten and it is really good. We love it and the teacher taken care very nice of kids as well as followup with kids assignments, work, daily schedules. He answers 1st grade math, science now itself. Principal Ms.Teri is taken care every kids and followup with weekly schedules. We love to continue in the school. Parent/Teacher one to one meet teacher makes notes of kids activities and kids concerns and the way to improve which really helpfull in focusing kids career.
Education not only with teaches and also with parents to follow up which makes better society.

I have a new kindergartener, and couldn't be happier with the welcome my son and my family have received. With small classes and a small school, my son didn't feel overwhelmed by his new experience. All the kindergarten teachers are incredible, and all school staff that I have encountered throughout the school are always friendly and helpful. The older kids are always kind and helpful to the little ones. I was so scared for this milestone, but so happy and relieved by our wonderful little school!

The teachers here are very caring and the school in general celebrates and appreciates diversity.
