This school was fine until about first grade for my kid, I think that's when the new principal…read moreMelanie Morrow took over. She was great at the beginning having fundraisers and school events. Then after a year or two they haven't made any changes, now its been around 3 ish years and no new improvements have been made, unless you count big ass solar panels in the playground area. I dont want to theorize this... but what if they aren't actually spending the money on improvements for the school. It seems phishy because of the obvious, when principal Harris left she made a bang by making the oh-so-loved outdoor learning center but now its not maintained. Morrow has been making what I call Shitty changes too, she passed a rule a while back when a kid had a temper tantrum they would lock down the entire school and announce on the intercoms "Code R" and then after parents complained they switched it to "Blue Sky's" which got taken down after another day. This school isn't bad its just the shitty principal in charge

Principal had no clue about special needs kiddos and the teachers they put in place to teach our special needs kiddos has no idea what he's doing, no compassion, no understanding or excepting, just judgment across the board, suspending my child who has an IEP with a behavioral plan because he was butt hurt my child hit him.... WELCOME TO MY WORLD SIR! You signed up to be a teacher, no every child is one the college track but your job is to teach and nurture our children and you sir did none of that! You broke my child down, he hated school, everyday was a battle to get him up and ready because you made everyday miserable for him!

The learning environment is really…read morecatered to each child's ability so there's a lot of encouragement both from the teaching staff and from the older students. From math and science (his favorite subjects) to yoga, gardening and sports day - the school really strives to develop the whole child and their place in the world. And the camaraderie that the parents develop is great - the school board really does listen to the parents and it shows in the content of the monthly newsletters as well as some of the projects that we are asked to participate in to spruce up the school grounds. Definitely glad we are a part of this community!

Not only is she given tasks and crafts that cater to her personal level, the entire school knows her name. All of the kids are supportive of each other and big buddies (upper class) are assigned to each student in her class. Myah absolutely loves her big buddy and each week they have an opportunity to connect. The Abeka learning curriculum has blessed her over the year and she has begun to read!

It was so awesome to see kindergarteners gaining the confidence to speak in front of their class. As parents we are given so many opportunities to be involved! We are getting to know the families rooted here and we love that. Dr. And Mrs. Geue are amazing individuals, accessible to our every whim of need, and love each student. The level of how our family has been encompassed is beyond 5 stars and we are so blessed to be here.

We dropped off two books and picked up one, but the librarian included a second mystery book, with my permission, because she wanted to give my kiddo the opportunity to read another mystery from another author. She didn't have to do this but went above and beyond to research something that she would be interested in and that was near her reading level. Every experience we have had with Ms. Hamilton Redding is meeting a woman with wonderful attitude and joy oozing from her. She does more than just her job, but she encourages my kiddo and takes the extra moment each time we see her. She is a real treasure and is a stellar example for the school!

Thank goodness I pulled my child out of there when I did.
