School Reviews

The school leadership exercises questionable judgment at best. Poor financial management combined with complacent decision-making results in high teacher turnover and annual tuition increases with no discernable improvement in the education provided to the children. The teachers are the real heroes of this school doing their very best despite the challenging environment fostered by the leadership. I was always impressed by the level of care of the teachers that educated my children but I would not recommend this school. The high quality of our local school districts combined with the referenced poor leadership and high tuition make this school a hard sell.
