Best school! Helped me be prepared for the real world and be able to keep an excellent work ethic as I have gotten older. 10 out of 10 would recommend to others. Close Quote

On the surface the school seems amazing. Dig a little deeper and you discover that a good percentage of the middle school teachers aren't endorsed for the classes they are teaching. You find that they give As in math,and then hold students back a year in math without informing the parents. You find that teachers and administrators blame an elementary aged child for not performing well, instead of looking at themselves. You find that middle school students don't always get the electives they want, even though there are only about 50 middle school students divided among 3 grades. Basically, it looks good on the surface, but you never actually know everything that is happening under the surface because they hide it very well, even from the state. Close Quote

My children have attended this school since it opened and we have been VERY happy here. The director is wonderful--she knows each of the students' names and is an excellent leader. We love the ability based learning groups that help each child no matter if they are gifted or struggling in a particular subject. I would highly recommend this charter school. Close Quote
