School Reviews
5 3/1/2010
Great School! Teachers, staff and Administration are great to work with. Great school for students that are behind or excel as students can move around in the subjects where they excel or are struggling. Like Montesorri but more structured. Students have homework nightly and parent/guardian participation is a must. Wonderful afterschool programs that hep to ensure homework is done first. Your child will not be lost in the crowd.
Down side - Outside buildings are not the best to look at and currently no gym. But what they lack in building asthetics is made up for in academics and care given to the students.
