I was not going to ever write a review but things really need to change at this school. This is a warning, if your child needs an IEP or help do not enroll here. They will find a way to take that IEP or MTSS tier help away asap.
This school has teachers who watch as a child fails to meet standards and do not communicate to parents.
This school lacks communication to parents, despite parents being involved or doing their part to communicate.
Public school was better in that they would address problems right away, teachers would constantly email or call and touch base, and the principal would communicate with the parents that were concerned.
I am so disappointed in this school. Many parents are not returning next year for various reasons but I do know of several not returning due to cold teachers, lack of communication, bullying being pushed under the rug, etc.

Bullying is swept under the rug at this school. Try to go to the principal for help. Try to go to the board for help. You get nothing. I would not recommend this school to any child above 3rd grade. If your child is in this school. Ask them daily how they are and make sure you know what is going on between them and other students, especially if you have a child that is shy and polite. Kindergarten to Third grade wasn't too bad. middle and upper el is the worst. THE STAFF DOESN"T CARE!!!!!

Excellent school and community. Love the Montessori method, the ability for kids to work at their own pace, and to move about the classroom, become internally motivated, and experiential learning.
