- The administration at this school is amazing. They subscribe to Love and Logic and they understand that kids are kids and they make mistakes. They deal with issues and problems accordingly and with love and understanding. My child was not a "terrible" kid, but those few times he did get in trouble I felt that the staff did a fabulous job at helping him understand what he did wrong as well as help him learn how to avoid issues in the future.
