The teachers listen to the stuff around them and dont do anything about it.

My kids love learning here, but the staff, and teachers are extremely disrespectful! Whenever my kid gets bullied by other kids, they DON'T CARE! I have said multiple times that my kids are getting bullied, but the teachers and staff don't care! My kids love their teacher, but other teachers are very disrespectful to my kids, and other kids. And you have to be lucky to get a teacher you actually like. The only days that are fun are school spirt days, makerspace, innovation, and after school activitys, I do not recommend letting your kids going to this disrespectful school!

My two children love this school! We have been so impressed with the connections the teachers make with our kids and the education beyond just academics and delving into what it means to be a good citizen and leader. Our children enjoy so many of the extra and enhanced programs from Innovation and Makerspace to Band and Choir. It's a wonderful community and I just wish more parents would lean in and volunteer.

We love this school! They facilities are amazing, the buildings are amazing and brand new (especially the TK, K, and afterschool rooms). The staff is A++. The teacher that my child had in TK was such an amazing, kind, and patient teacher. She made his entire year and the transition from a pre-school to a "big school" easy. The school programs and family events are great too an allow parents and families to feel very invested in the school. We felt like the school was more of a family. The kids get chromebooks at K so I feel like the curriculum is very advanced and tailored to helping kids understand computers and working in a technical environment. Overall, the school is top notch and very clean, advanced in terms of the buildings and tech.music saavy (There's also a full innovation lab! How cool is that). My only con is that the drop-off and pick up is kind of a cluster - there is only one way in and you have to wait in line through a full hairpin turn just to access the parking lot to drop off your TK/K child. Not great, but you get used to it and should plan about 10+ min to be in that line.

My 2 girls went to this school when the school opened. They were in 3rd and 5th. Being that this is a k-8 school, it was nice to not have them go through the adjustments of a regular middle school after 5th grade. This school offers programs that may not be offered in other schools. I always felt the teachers were vested in their class, their students and the subjects they were teaching. That to me was the most important thing. Knowing the teachers were actively involved in their lessons and trying to make it fun for the students. My girls never had any negative interactions with the staff, students or administration and on the one off that they did, I was able to navigate the situation with staff and/or administration. I always felt that as long as my girls were respectful to other students and staff, they got that respect in return.

Terrible experience at this school over the years for my kid, he used to come home crying almost from the amount of stress that was laid upon him by the teachers. I tried to talk to the school directly and THEY DID NOTHING.. Not to even mention how some of the teachers would treat him and other students. Truly disgusting school.

This school has great leadership, the kids are able to participate in programs that many other school do not offer. They focus on a well rounded student rather than just academics (even though their academics are great).

None given and no homework policy followed (mostly)

Posted: September 25, 2019

Some are good some are bad. Administration is very liberal and opposite than SEH. Hands off approach with everything. SEH is far superior.

Posted: September 25, 2019

They say they are leader in me and lighthouse yet dont like one. They do not believe in what they teach. Some great teachers get bad rep due to bad admin and bad leadership

Posted: September 25, 2019

Totally disagree. Admin is not involved with progress. Overcrowded and donot listen to feedback from parents. Its a nice building from outside but inside admin needs changing and more experience.

Posted: September 25, 2019

Needs a lot of improvement. They need a new administration with better leadership skills such as SEH middle or elementary.
