The school has made a huge turnaround since the last comment was posted. In the last few years a new principal has come in that is extremely data focused. I see her message replicated in the teachers now. Students are making huge improvements in academics. Genius Hour is the most fun my child has ever had and she enjoys picking her new classes every few months. The teachers all seem very qualified or almost over qualified for their jobs. The school just has such a creative, caring and welcoming staff. I am super sad we will start online because I have been looking forward to seeing them all and enjoying the wonderful opportunities afforded to my child.

I've been very hesitant with this place & my child is a gifted student & she says it's the most easiest school for her ...

I've been to some of the family nights but I feel like I'm treated like a child instead of a parent! If I had a choice to transfer her I would!

I enrolled my child here for the last portion of the year, I found this school very sad in all areas. The teachers are lacking , the principle does not return no calls , My child has been bullied by students and staff , She brought to the staff attention it was over looked and pushed under the rug. My child education as gotten worse. Since she has been there she hasn't had no homework, She told me during computer class the teacher lets them play on Hollywood planet with is a online Facebook for kids.... WOW... Not a good school at all. My daughter had miss a lot of school, due to death in family. I made the school aware of it, instead of even talking to me and expressing there concerns . They call CYFD. Nothing became of it. But I truly advised parents if you want your child to get an education, this school is not the school, But if you just want your child to do nothing in life then this is the place..
