The faculty and staff at Underwood are committed to providing a positive environment for growth and learning. The campus is small and allows students to have a more personal connection with teachers. The administration encourages student engagement and works hard to make learning fun and interactive. Underwood provides a private school experience in a public-school setting.

This school was absolutely horrible and i do not recommend sending any of your kids here. Can’t even go into detail the hell it’s brought upon my kids.

Although my kids are no longer there, I loved that little school. The teachers, principal, and other staff were warm and available, and seemed to genuinely care about the safety and education of each child. My kids got to go outside very regularly, which is important to me. I liked how they reduced the stress of all of the required testing with a common sense approach- they took on one subject per testing day, followed by a free rest of the day for recess and more laid back activities. Great school!

It would be a great school if it had a different principle. He does not take care of problems like he should. Have heard many stories from parents were he just does not seem to care.

This is an excellent school. My daughter is in her sixth year here and I wish it went to twelve years. The teachers , principal and staff are the best. If you want a public school that is more like a private school this is the one. My daughter has excelled leaps and bounds in academics. I can not say enough about this school . Great Job Mr. Moore and all of the teachers. It is just like a family here. If you want to feel the love and excitement of a wonderful school then this is the one. My daughter has learned so much. I would choose this school all over again , the experience has been outstanding. I would not change a thing. Except make it a 12 grade school. Thanks Underwood for giving my daughter a very good start in school and in life I know she will cherish her time there always.
