What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, September 23, 2011

This school emphasizes real education and social adjustment over test scores. Often, too, the test scores are skewed because of the influx of older (2nd & 3rd grade) students from other schools whose parents only recently discovered the quality here. It is moderately diverse and extremely welcoming, despite its MN suburban status. The administration is minimal and very effective; the teachers are dedicated, and stay on the cusp of new education trends. The students all love it there (I've talked to them). Close Quote
