Our oldest spent 2 years attending this school. Both years with teachers who seemed less the interested in providing much of a learning environment for the students. The school does not keep parents informed of upcoming events or activities and is regularly giving one day notices to the parents. The school has a very diverse population which is great for the kids on being exposed to other cultures but also leads to alot if bullying if your child is not from those backgrounds. The school itself facilty wise is always extremely dirty (play ground covered in trash and regularly find items used for smoking or injecting drugs on the school grounds) Little to no activities for students to get involved in and teachers seem lack luster.

My kids have gone to Wonder Park since Kindergarten, 2 of which are now going to be in middle school. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the kids' teachers and the staff there. All are motivated to help and guide the students and support the parents along the way. Great afterschool program and family activities!

The administration at this school is amazing! They really focus on the total learning experience for the child, and help support the family as educators as well. With monthly Family Night activities, such as, Science Night, Reading Night (where they have away free books to each child in attendance, even siblings!) Family Fun Festival, and Native Olympics, you can't help but feel a part of the school community. Small class sizes, large after school program, and an administration that knows every child, are some of the reasons that you should feel blessed to be a part of this school.
