- Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on August 28, 2010
- Rating:
(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is an excellent school, and those who do not live in the area are often clamoring to get in. The school is academically very rigorous, and the adminstsration and teachers do not put up with any nonsense from ill-behaved kids or kids who are underachieving. (there is very accessible and FREE tutoring to help kids who desire to help themselves) The school is, and feels VERY small, so eveyone knows one another and I have found the staff to be very responsive to parents. It feels like a private school. I am very thankful to have it as a resource for our family. The Board is appointed locally so unlike the previous review, a parent can be deeply involved and heard, they can apply for a seat on the Board.

(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think it's a great school, reading department is excellent, but the school is very strict and parents concerns go unheard. Also some teacher really don't care for teaching and the schools administrators give no value to parental concerns. Garber who is high in the administration for example looks down on many parents as if they were uneducated. I believe this it's good school but as i parent, you have no voice. The administration is also very rude to parents when they have any opinions or concerns.
