The teachers care about their students. They challenge more than the classic public schools. The academic advancement is well above average. Close Quote

I went to the school and it was good and i made many good friends.I LOVE deer park !!! Close Quote

My daughter has been enrolled at this school since six grade. Honor student, so they say. Her Md test say different. Today, my daughter being in seventh grade just brought home a A+ graded reading paper that is littered with grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes and answers that do NOT answer the question. Since my question will be rhetorical question and will do nothing but waste everyone's time. I will not bother with a parent teacher conference based on the stated fact above. While I firmly believe you get what you put into it, I also believe the 90% of her education will be coming from home. The other 10% will also teach her what it means when people don't do their jobs.
