DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! My child went here for 5 years and hated every year. I have never seen a kid of that age stress out so much about school before. Teachers are ok. Front office staff and principal are terrible. The communication is terrible and sometimes do not get back to you until days later. The amount of days my child cried in the car before going in is too many to count. Might be a fit for some kids but not for all. Very excited to be done with this school altogether.

This is my daughters first year going here. She was behind in her public school. In just these 4 months she has really amazed me. She is great at math. She's working really hard. I can tell her whole self confidence has boosted up. She feels good about herself. I love the whole ideas of the uniforms.... I totally agree with all the structure and uniforms. I think all schools should follow this guideline. We as parents are totally impressed with everything. This school has been a complete blessing....

There is a LOT of homework with PODER, but I appreciate it.
There are summer and winter packets that are required as well as nightly homework and 20 minutes of reading EVERY DAY. There are several parents that are opposed to the amounts of homework, but I feel that this helps keep out kiddo thinking, and I appreciate it.

Our child had many issues in public school. Bullying was our main issue. However, this school was our blessing. The teachers and staff are amazing! Our child is held accountable, as are all children. There is no bullying and the children are taught discipline and respect. I don't know what we would do without this school!
