This school is really a great school. The principal studies the research of what improves success in students and actually implements them. It’s awesome. They have so many activities for the kids. Friday clubs is really neat. They take time to explore their interests outside of the day to day classroom. They have acting, singing, Minecraft and art clubs, to name a few. I think it’s really neat that they are allowing kids to foster more opportunities like that. It’s really cool. My son tried acting for a month and they had a school wide program where kids could perform. My son was in a play and there were kids around the school performing or showing their parents what they are doing. I really like the encouragement with parent involvement, they welcome parent volunteers in class and with the school. Our last school didn’t do that, it’s nice to be able to go and help out. It helps create a sense of community (in the school we moved from, it felt school was really separate and here I like how open they are in sharing what they are doing). They seem to have more opportunities her than our last school, the school counselor is amazing. One thing that really stands out to me is they have a meditation room. It’s a safe place where kids can go to help regulate their emotions when they are feeling imbalanced. I absolutely love the focus of the school is on the entire wellbeing of the child. They focus on getting their core needs met so they are emotionally regulated and in a state of mind to learn. The class sizes are not too big and from my experience have provided ample one-on-one attention. I’ve talked with other moms in the school who say the same thing. It was scary for my children to start a new school this year, and I’ll admit I was apprehensive at first as change can be difficult. I’m so glad we did. I adore this school, what it stands for and the school receptionists are even really cool. Which helps a lot as for most of us parents, that is our main interaction with the whole school. Great school.

Mrs. Miller, the Kindergarten teacher is exceptional. She goes above and beyond all expectations. She clearly cares deeply for the kids, and they feel it. She is kind, warm and should be nominated for some award.

First year at this school it seems to be good so far. The teachers and principal see to be very caring and understanding.

Ratings should be only accepted by real parents of the school. Rating sites should ask for more information before accepting ratings.

Do NOT bring your kids to this school! The principle is incompetent and is only there to collect her paycheck. The disciplinary actions for bullys is a joke. Our kids are not protected here. There is no control over some of the children. The communication between the principle and parents is horrible. We are moving because we do not want our children in this environment any longer. That being said, there are some exceptional teachers that do care about the children. But, the negatives seem to outweigh the positive. There are a few bad apples that need to retire. So happy to leave this school!
