What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, January 23, 2016

My child attended for kindergarten. The classes were really large - 1 teacher to approximately 26 kids. And, there were about 5 classrooms of kindergartens. The facility was not sufficient to house the kids, the playground was beaten down and the congestion with the bus depot, the elementary school, the middle school and the administration building and all the other growth on 131st and SR 37 made the school a logistical nightmare for pickup and dropoff.

My child came from a really strong academic preschool and tested really well on the NWEA at the start of school. By winter break her NWEA scores dropped 15+ points. And, compared to her friends at other schools the curriculum was about 2 to 3 months behind the other kids. While most kids started baggie books and sight words the first week of August. Their class did not start sight words until mid-September and baggie books until a week a before Thanksgiving.

I would not recommend this school or the administration. Ultimately, we switched to a private school. Close Quote
