Open Quote I am beyond impressed with this school. As a parent I am relieved that my son attending such an academically driven, safe and nurturing middle school. At Swiss Point my son is not just a number, most teachers genuinely care and are eager for their students to reach for the stars. They give students so many opportunities to succeed by providing them with extra help during lunch, special raider hours and even after school sometimes.

In addition I have never seen a principal so involved in her school. You can find this principal at dismissal guiding children to their cars, she personally checks student selection sheets and calls parents directly. She answers her email, not her assistant, not an office staff, she handles everything directly.

Personally I think this school is top notch and I am so glad he gets to experience such an amazing middle school. Close Quote
