School Reviews

5  
We have had a great experience at Shrine, starting in preschool and now in middle school. Our child, like almost all of the students, has been welcomed into their sports programs, musicals, choir, etc. Kids have all the options. They really seem to get the kids lifted up academically, and it's been a happy place to be, overall.
