What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, March 4, 2016

I am not impressed with how situations are handled. Bullies are allowed multiple chances. In a small school setting it is easy for your child to become a target.

On a positive note: I love the curriculum and most of the teachers are very helpful and really work with the students to help them succeed. Close Quote
