School is small, safe, and at a nice location for us. We have had a better year last year but this academic year has seen it going to worse. Leadership has changed and some new teachers and classes are... More
DISAGREE: This school has an effective approach to homework.
Almost no homework in KG. We have heard that other schools do a better job in terms of academics.
Report
DISAGREE: Teachers at this school are effective.
Some teachers are great but at least one KG teacher is ineffective, unresponsive and lacks communication.
Report
DISAGREE: Leadership at this school is effective.
New principal is not effective. Doesn't care about parent feedback. Doesn't intend to resolve it to a satisfactory level. Close Quote
