At least they get what they deserve. Students who don't behave well get lunch detention and school suspension. The teachers do their best job.

Our family has been very happy with Blue Bird. Our oldest is always happy to arrive at school and…read moreat pick up. The teachers are truly passionate, and the kids' care has been beyond our expectations. Our daughter continues to expand her Spanish and gets to practice every day through the curriculum and teachers! Every day we receive a report card and little notes from the teachers, along with daily worksheets. We've been amazed at how her writing skills have come along and excited for her to start learning math. We highly recommend checking out Blue Bird for your kids! The teachers and admin team are wonderful, and the care and nurturing the children receive is top level.

I am amazed that this school is still in business. Last year the entire pre-school class quit…read morewithin a month of each other after repeatedly flighting with management about their continued violations of health, safety and child abuse violations. They refused to fix the only working toilet in one building for several months! They refused to call the gas company during a gas leak! They violated regulations on discipline putting kids in isolation and time out for 5 times longer than the legal limit! They planned a pre-K graduation ceremony for the kids, spent a month getting the kids excited, then banned the parents from attending, and told the kids that their parents were all too busy to be there. The owner then said - in writing - that she was doing this to punish the parents for daring to call the County for health and safety violations. This place is not safe. Avoid at all costs.

The school day ends at 4:06, again, unlike typical schools which end at 2:30 or 3. There are 8 blocks (same thing as periods) in a day. There is A-H block. You can take unique classes at HB like Chinese, German, or sign language. It is located in Cherrydale. Kids can start going off-campus in 8th grade. They usally go to Starbucks or Chipotle.

This school heard my concerns as a parent, welcomed him with open arms, lent us uniforms when we needed them, and gave him access to the amazing science curriculum. The teachers are amazing, warm, intelligent, and thorough. The students there are just so kind. They use state of the art tech, post assignments online, communicate well and LOVE the kids. The smaller setting is amazing. He loves going to mass during school. He is at peace.

One child was out when my kid started school on a family vacation and brought him home a "welcome to school" souvenir. My child is learning a lot, but more importantly, he loves school again. This principal is a great leader. Don't hesitate. Wish I had enrolled my child sooner.
