Open Quote As an elementary school it's great. Although it's a little bit unnecessarily strict (like no bringing in candy for Valentine's day or Halloween) the education is great and I felt like I got a much better education than I would have at the town's public schools and a lot of technological experience.

However, as a middle school (7-8 grade) the education is still above par but it didn't feel like anything had changed. There were no school sports or after school programs.(we did have school dances) We had been around the same people all our life (very little bullying) so we were academically prepared for high school but not socially.

All in all it is a great school (with a great library for such a small school) and I would recommend you applying your child. Close Quote
