Open Quote Previous principal was amazing. New principal is uneducated and supports bad teacher behavior. People who do not have teaching degrees are teaching. They are covering up something too if they are allowing bad teacher behavior. Been sending my daughter here for 4 yrs and they do not help students. They just give handouts and not teach.

Open Quote Wildflower is an excellent school. My children have been going to Wildflower for 8 years. The continues support, family like dynamics and the career readiness are all reason why I have continued my children’s education at Wildflower. Wildflower is always looking for ways to grow and prepare my children for what is next to come. All teachers and staff have been amazing educators and want all children to be successful.
