This school subjected my family to significant distress while my child was coping with a serious health disability. In all my years dealing with various educational institutions, I have never faced such a challenging situation. Based on my experience, I strongly advise against choosing this school for any family, especially one with a disability.

My daughters have had a very good experience. My oldest attended for all 7 years, so I have had the opportunity to work with many different teachers.

I also agree with comments regarding the principal. I have yet to see this Carla person follow-up or follow through on anything without someone else having to handle it for her. Not sure what her purpose is exactly but I am so fortunate that my child will not be attending this school fall 2015.

I have two children who both go to overlook school, and as far as their education goes I am happy. My kids come home with homework that is somewhat challenging, and i feel like they are learning something. They have some great school activities, the teachers are friendly, and I have no complaints there. Both of my children have been bullied by other students, and I feel as though the school has done nothing about it. They are told to stay away from bullies that have hit them, spit on them, pushed them etc. No punishments have been given out, and it has not deterred the bullies whatsoever. The principal is a pushover who believes that every child can do no harm.

My children have grown so much from their experience at this school. The principal is truly a leader who has the entire staff moving in the right direction. We were considering private school for our children; however, Overlook has changed our minds. What an awesome experience!

I have three children in this school. All three have been blessed with great teachers. My 3rd grade son has been doubly blessed. His teacher goes so far above expectations in getting him to push himself!! I can't say enough about this teacher's qualities! In my son's words, 'He ROCKS!'. Lots of academic programs to keep the kids interest, gold card night rewards good behavior and there is a sense of community.
