10/10. I attended this school when I was younger and now my kids attend it as well. The staff are so welcoming and go above and beyond to try and help students with ANYTHING they may need. I love this school! They food banks every month, they have a great support from the community! Highly recommend this school!!!

We waited for 4 years applying for a different school then our home school because it was terrible. After all that waiting and applying, we have found the most AMAZING school, with the most supportive teachers and parents. It is such a great feeling knowing that our child is getting the best care and challenged just right to her benefit all in one school.

I'm not sure yet how I feel about shamrock. In kindergarten my son had a good teacher and I think his teacher is fine for first grade. My issues are that even though he's intelligent and makes good grades, he's not getting the attention he needs. We have had several problems with his behavior and he really hates school this year and I'm not sure that it is all him. I know he's not perfect and does have problems following directions, but I believe there are problems that are being ignored and I think the school isn't equipped with enough staff to deal with certain kids. I hope things change but if not I will consider changing schools and see if that helps.

We enrolled our Kindergartener there this fall. We have been impressed with the staff at every turn, and we are excited about our student's growth during these first few months.

this school is ok but staff is somewhat helping, i didn't have year satisfaction in my son's first year teacher but in his second year his teacher was way more passionate about her job i hope this year it will be the same; but the security is not satisfactory, specially at the beginning of the year,
