Kindergarten brings back memories of playing "house", growing silk worms, show-and-tell, nap-time, and mourning the class pet chick's unfortunate death when the tower of blocks came crashing down upon it. Mrs. Messemmer, my teacher, was a kind hearted lady, with curly gold locks and a warm smile. Funny how after all these years I still remember her name. Fast forward to my last year of elementary. 5th grade was taught by a younger teacher named Mr. Green. One of the girls in my class had the hugest school-girl crush on him, it was so obvious and pretty funny. My best friend and I were the teacher's pet of the class, which was cool because he let us get away with a lot of things, like coming in late from lunch, etc. Haha. Overall, it was a happy time for me. It was conveniently located near a McDonalds, Welch Park, and now that I realize it, it was right next to Long Phung Sandwiches (I love their eggrolls!) Assuming they were in business for that long. I'd give it 5 stars, but over the years the area has become sketchy. Back then, in the good ol' days, when everything was innocent and safe, this was a great school to go to.

We attended summer camp here. This review is basically on the location and not it's staff or…read moreadministration. The location is old. It's been here as long as I can remember. It's located next to a park that was known for gang banging and by the looks of it, it probably hasn't changed much. I bring this up, because the school has also been tagged with what appears to be gang related graffiti. The parking lot is horrendous! Let's just say I'm glad my kids don't go here on a regular basis. It's a drive up/pick up parking. People have the tendency to double park anywhere and sometimes leave their cars which causes mass chaos. Also, the fence to the parking lot is also attached to gate that and entrance to the pedestrians/students. It appears that they do not open the gate completely, therefore the children must enter up the driveway. It makes no sense to endanger the children when they can simply slide the gate open completely which would allow the children to use the gate appropriately. Instead the children must walk though the the congested car exit. It's an accident waiting to happen. I give this location 1 star for the lack of thoughtfulness if the safety of the children.

Everyone, the principle, teachers, staff, students, fellow parents, all are so caring and making every member of the school feel so special and loved. Children need love! I feel so good dropping Jake's off each day at school and he loves going to school so much! Alexander keeps saying how come Jake's school is so cool and all Jake's teachers love him so much!! They also organize a lot of cool events. They want the children to be well rounded. The school relies heavily on staff and parent volunteers since it does not have much funding and it serves mostly low income students. Yet everyone serves with all their heart !! Still contemplating on moving Alexander over to Jake's school. ROMO with all our hearts!!

Every day at pickup, she's in tears, clinging to her teacher, while I try to stay strong. Her friends hug her goodbye, and even the younger students come check on her, asking if they'll ever see her again -- begging me to bring her back to visit every month. It's been so emotional, so bittersweet. What touches me the most is seeing just how deeply my daughter is loved -- and how much love she's given in return. She's made an incredible impact on her school community, and that means everything to me. A special thank you to Ms. Tarika -- your kindness, your presence, your heart. As we said our final goodbyes, you walked to our car and wrapped my daughter in one last warm embrace, reminding her that everything will be okay, that she is special, and that she's going to do amazing things at her new school. You told her how much she means to you -- and let me just say, words will never be enough to explain how much you mean to us. To Scholars: thank you for being such a powerful, positive force in my daughter's life. You've helped shape her into the strong, kind, brave girl she is -- and I will forever be grateful.

They organize a lot of events where parents get a chance to connect with teachers and other parents. The annual spring and winter concerts are very well organized and it's rewarding to see the community come together. Overall it's been a very fulfilling experience and we're glad we found scholars ! They encourage outdoor playtime and also hone kids' personal preferences as well. Their reports are also very detailed and specific for each kid. They have also started meal service which is a huge relief for busy parents. I cannot wait to send my younger daughter to scholars once she's ready.

The case was dropped!
