What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, November 21, 2023

This school is amazing! We moved our children from an other charter school to Da Vinci and they both (5th and 7th) have already learned more this school year than they had in a year at their old school. They both come home actually talking about what they are learning about. Communication here is pretty good. The teachers have gotten back to me within a day. If there is a safety concern admin always addresses it without compromising sensitive information. The previous school would never address why there were police cars in the parking lot so this makes me feel so much better and more in touch. The work is hard but the students are giving so much free opportunities to do them and with help from the teachers. I really couldn't say enough good things. I'm so happy we moved my kids. They both tell me the same! Close Quote
