School Reviews

Excellent school as long as you allow the higher administration to do as they please. Be aware the administrator will try to control your family's entire life. Also, be aware the administrator will have access to your personal information and will use it when it has a benefit to them. The administrator will lie to parents and employees in an attempt to control every aspect. I have personally caught the administrator lying to me on multiple occasions instead of just admitting mistakes were made. The administrator will try to create and set up conversations and situations to cover their mistakes. They will use employees as pawns making them lie and play games as well. If you want to play childish games daily this is the place for you. If you are more interested in your child's education you should look elsewhere. This school has the potential to be excellent with better leaders who actually care about your child's education and less about trying to remain relevant and in position. The vast majority of the teachers are highly motivated, trained, and interested in providing a positive educational experience for your child. It is a shame to see leadership ruin the school, especially in a private school setting where parents are wanting and willing to pay for a better choice.
