All teachers certified, dedicated and enthusiastic. Curriculum emphasis on Reading, Writing & Math. Tutoring available every day. Building remodeling includes addition of 4,000 sq. ft. multipurpose room for a gym and extended day clubs. Waiting list for K=6 classes. Web site available soon.
We switched to this school because of a bully problem at our last school. Our son is doing great and now loves going to school. The school is more organic than traditional schools. If you enjoy heavy structure, a arts-focused school is probably not for you. Also, many problem students have been removed (beginning last year). I have seen a lot of improvement with the new principal Ms. Norris. Now my son has dance and a good arts teacher along with music. No more uniforms, either!!! My son is just thriving.
this school started off as a good begging place for an elementary student, but as the years progress the school suddenly starts to feel as if its lacking more of a dedicated curriculum and there are no extracurricular and during my 8th grade year there were many bullies and there was no adult supervision. basically this is school is key on writing. there is no art element. and this school they tell you that art and the bathroom are privileges and don't take them for granted. in my opinion is pathetic. also this school believes in punishing everyone for one person's mistake. I'm now a junior and i do find myself excelling in almost everything. in earlier times, this school was okay. but i do not recomend it.
In response to the email posted yesterday...I agree that the school could use a little more disicipline...but the kids are doing great...I too have children that go to this school, and my two girls love thier teachers...if Ms. Maurand and Ms. Julie leave...we probably would too....thanks TALA!!!
