This is a wonderful school that sometimes gets carried away with its reputation. By that I mean that they put unreasonable amounts of pressure on the kids to excel. Many might think this is a good thing but you will see 4th and 5th graders burning out. My son's 4th grade teacher gave him two tests to study for the same night plus 1.5 hours of additional homework. We made it through but he was up until 11:30 getting it all done. This happened many times. They need to have homework limits so that the students can spend time reading for pleasure, playing and SLEEPING. The school itself is very well run, the teachers are mostly young and enthusiastic, and the leadership kind and very well respected. My only worry is that the pressure they give these kids to do well will cause burn out in middle school.

I am so happy my son got into this school. He will be going into 3rd grade this year and has excelled at Morikami. The school is safe, challenging, caring, and has an excellent staff. The principal is awesome. Communication from the teachers as well as the administration is great. My only problem is where to send him to middle school.

I think that school is such a wonderful, caring place. The parents are so happy to have their children here which radiates through to their children, which seems to make for loving, motivated teachers. You can see the incredible progression of the students through the years hanging in the hallways, which are full of smiles.
