Will make it seem like they support you child but really want them to act like a adult in any situation. The teachers that are supposed to help the slower kids learn do not help

My son has been at the school since the beginning and he really like going to school. I really like the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, however, I'm not happy with the fact that there is no spanish teacher. The spanish teacher quit at the beginning of the school year. They also need to hire more male teachers.

I've been at this school since they first opened and they have been great ever science but this year they have made a few mistakes like how there is no recess and the new math teacher is horrible

The teachers in this school are scared to speak up. They feel if they say the wrong thing they will loose their job. This school don't have teachers qualified to handle the needs of YOUR child. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE communication issues. If you are a parent that looks to the teacher for guidance STAY AWAY from this school.

I think the school has made a good change. My child has been attended the school when it was a catholic school. The school offers a lot of extracurricular activities for the children. They have wonderful teachers that care about the kids education. The classwork is challenging. It is small and private. My son loves the school.
