I would rate this school as a 2. If I could afford to homeschool my son or send him to private school I most definitely would.

My son's kindergarten experience has went beyond what we were expecting. I don't think we could have paid any amount anywhere for the schooling he's received.

I am pulling my son out of this school due to the incompetence of the teacher and principal. Between a serious lack of communication to to the school not caring about teaching the students. I am fed up and recommend if you care about your children's future you will think twice about putting them in this school.

My daughter attended Kindergarten at the K-Center in this school. Her Kindergarten Teacher was sweet, but used terrible grammar. At the Kindergarten orientation she actually said, "See THEM dark clouds in the sky...?" Then she sent a letter home in which each time she used the word OUR she spelled it ARE. I was very concerned. First grade was slightly better, but my daughter was repeatedly moved from the normal to accelerated reading classes, then back to normal and then back to accelerated and I was never informed of any of these moves. She had to re-read many assigned books during this constant shifting, which she found very frustrating. I offered to volunteer in the classroom multiple times over the year and was never used. I was an active member of the PTO and it was very disorganized and most parents were not too willing to help. The few of us who were committed to the PTO took on multiple assignments for each project. We are now moving out of this school district and I am relieved. A school whose test scores land them at 3 out of 10 is not meeting the academic needs of their students and not preparing them for a successful schooling career.

As a former parent, I have taken my children out of their school system because I found it to be very poorly controlled both behaviorally and academically. Some children do not receive the early guidance and instruction that they need to become good students. If you are looking for a solid education look elsewhere!
