This is a terrible school . If you want your child to learn to read , write and be able to do math . Then this is not the school for you . If you want your child to play all day and do plays and get ready for Halloween , and trips to Hearts desire beach . Then this is the school for you . When I first moved there a couple of people told me it wasn't the best school and maybe I should consider I different school . I decided to give the school a try. What a mistake . My child is now in a new school and two (2) grade levels behind . I've had my child tested at three different tutoring places and they all said the same thing . I am now spending a small fortune to get my child up to speed . I had also read some Yelp reviews on this school before I embarked on the LSD journey . The Yelp reviews said what I am saying now . That the kids where two grad levels behind and having to be tutored . It's a lazy school in regards to proper education . Yes they are thoughtful about nurturing the children's imagination , but not enough practical application on education .
