I enjoyed the opportunity to certify in his Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course. The blend of classroom lectures and practical application within teams helped me completely grasp the material and critical concepts. Our class had a 100% pass rate on the certification exam. I encourage anyone interested in Lean Six Sigma to take any course from this training organization.

Our course was a five-day course from 9 am to 4 pm daily. The length of each day felt appropriate and I would always leave each day feeling like I had a firm grasp of the material, and looked forward to the next day. Our class consisted of individuals from several different functions and each of us passed the class. A huge thanks to Erik for being such a great teacher - each of us left with an eagerness to begin using what we learned! I would highly recommend this course for people who are looking to learn both Lean and some Six Sigma principles.

Firstly, thi school is so bad becuase the teachers there are so rude. Like for example, you are…read moreexpected to com ein with a masters degree in everything or they will call you stupid. Also, the wifi in this school sucks. There is no internet for anything on our chromebooks to load. Also, the admin BLOCKED the school camera? They refuse to let students use it. This school has no library or any quiet place and when its unbearably hot outside at recess, the teachers force us to stay outside which is insane. Also, never attend your school fundraisers because firstly, about 3 years ago, we needed new microscopes for science class-which is reasonable, so we raised a lot of money, about $10,000. But even until now, we never received them. Also, the money was supposedly spent on the teachers. That is ridiculous. During events like the spring formal or vday dance, the items there are stupidly overpriced and so is their after school champions. Just get your child an uber at this point. Don't bring your child here.

First of all, the teachers here are very picky and have horrible favorites. The teachers expect…read morestudents to act like adults, but they are like 10-13? And then they take the fun out of childhood as they refuse to let us have fun in life. They call this school a "rigorous college prep" but it should be called "rigorous mental destruction." Students are berated for not understanding the material instead of being encouraged and listened to. The councilor is also not the best, as she just ruins students' self esteem (the opposite of what they should be doing) and doesn't respect student's privacy or understands a joke. The rules are overly strict like not being able to talk during lunch. LUNCH. The only time we get to socialize with our friends and make long-lasting relationships. They treat us like we have no life outside of academics and aren't willing to hear us out when we try to explain.

I've had a mixed experience with this school, and unfortunately many of my concerns have not…read moreimproved over time. One of the biggest ongoing issues is the car line and pickup/drop-off process. It feels very disorganized and often inaccurate. There have been multiple times when staff clearly see the pickup slip with my child's number, yet my son is still not brought out in a timely manner. At the same time, parents are not allowed to get out of the car or retrieve their children themselves, which makes the delays even more frustrating. On top of that, interactions during car line often feel rushed and, at times, rude. Parking is another major problem. The campus is very small and located right next to car dealerships, leaving little to no overflow parking. Street parking is extremely limited, and the Porsche dealership nearby does not allow parents to park there. This becomes especially stressful during school events. Parents are not allowed to come inside to drop off or pick up children during these events, yet the performances are only about 10 minutes long. With the already limited parking, it hardly feels worth the stress, especially when parents aren't even given time or space to take pictures with their children afterward. Overall, there is very little parent involvement encouraged. Parents are often isolated from activities like events or things such as the bubble run, which makes it feel like families are kept at arm's length rather than welcomed into the school community. I've also never met the principal, which feels unusual for such a small campus. Academically, the experience has been inconsistent. There is a large amount of homework assigned, but grading does not always feel accurate or timely. Communication around expectations could definitely be improved. Given the size of the campus, the lack of parking, and the limited parent engagement, I genuinely feel the school has outgrown this location and should consider a larger campus. At this point, I'm unsure if I will be re-enrolling my son next year.

We are deeply grateful to Brain Balance for the incredible progress we have seen in our child. When…read morewe first started, our child was in a special education classroom for children with autism spectrum disorder. At that time, we could only hope and pray that one day things would be different. Today, two years later, our child is attending a mainstream classroom alongside other children. For our entire family, this is incredibly meaningful. We see a huge difference: our child has become more independent, more confident, communicates better, and is much more comfortable navigating everyday life. As parents, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your child grow and have opportunities that once seemed out of reach. We are very thankful to the entire Brain Balance team for their hard work, patience, and belief in our child. Thank you, Brain Balance, for helping us see progress and take such an important step forward.

To be honest I was at skeptical at first on whether the program would work. I understood everything…read morebehind it, and it all made sense, but the program is an investment. That being said, my daughter has recently completed a 72 hour session and I'm blown away by the progress she's made in such a short amount of time. She went from being in a group that needed extra time with the teacher for reading to exceeding her Iready assessment results. Her handwriting is more legible. She can now sit still for periods of time without immediately getting impatient. She is now more open to trying new foods. Before the program she would not touch a strawberry or blueberry, but now she eats them weekly. She used to be anxious, and is still anxious, but is a bit quicker to identify her emotions and process things better. I understand every kid/brain is different but for US, we trusted the process, tried our best to keep up with the home exercises, and we are seeing results in day to day life. I honestly believe that adults (not just kids) would benefit from a program like this. Super grateful to have found them to make my daughter's life easier and set her up for success long term.

My daughter was very smart prior to moving here and this school didn't slow her down. She has continued to excel in reading, math, science and Physical education. She has taken after school activities such as piano, yoga and even fun activity clubs and loved every one of them. I was able to see my child from a public trail and was quickly spotted by the PE coach as she confronted me and confirmed with my daughter that she knew me. I was really happy that the teachers have that level of care for the kids to ensure I wasn't a creep. The PTO does amazing things with a lot of dedicated parents participating. My experience with the teachers thus far has been amazing. You get a chance to meet more of them at community events and fundraiser dinners the PTO creates. The traffic came back up for drop off. The principal and other teachers out in the parking lot trying to keep parents moving any methodical pace. There is a flow to the process to ensure all kids get dropped off quickly and in a safe manner. The crossing guards are always there and always have a children's safety as the number one priority from what I've seen. I'm also amazed how the people letting the children into the school in the morning seem to know nearly every single one of them. My child's experience has been great. We dedicate a lot of time at home with our children to help them learn that at school. It seems the teachers do the same which makes the school work very well for us and our level of involvement with the children. The ram run is an opportunity for the kids to run laps in the morning before school starts and a great opportunity to motivate them to stay more active. My daughter really liked this and over the course of the ram run duration from October to May, she ran over 60 mi with a couple laps each day. This is not required and starts about 15 minutes before the bell rings. SafeKey is offered before and after school. I have only used a before school option. I know this is a CCSD provided function and not a school function but I asked the SafeKey teachers how they manage a number of teachers versus students and they told me they provide the appropriate number of teachers for whatever children are signed up for the SafeKey that day. One afternoon, I watched children throwing rocks into the backyards of houses so long the trail. I didn't expect there to be enough SafeKey teachers to be able to watch every kid at all times since they are all playing in the large playground. I told the kids to stop and they did. I then went over to the school to talk to the SafeKey teachers and they address it immediately. I never saw any children throw rocks again. Overall I think the teachers of the school are very attentive from my experience. I think the pickup and drop off goes as efficiently as it can go since the school doesn't actually have a large parking lot for everybody to park. It seems like the PTO and staff are dedicated to provide the best environment they can provide. I am very happy that I chose to live in an area that is zoned for this highly rated school.
