School Reviews

This was one of best choices I made with my children education. I love the christian and family atmosphere they represent. Both of my daughter attended the school. My oldest is in the 5th grade and continues to excell in her academics. She was selected in Honor Society and makes the a/b honor roll every nine weeks, except on two occasions she made the principal list. My youngest will be attending public school for this upcoming school term. To see where they were when they started and how much they have progressed is amazing. I will miss being a part of wonderful school.
