School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
This school is not what it is held out to be, which is unfortunate because the concept is great and would be a great alternative for parents fed up with traditional public schools. However, the administration of the concept is the problem at this school. The academics are no where near what is claimed and leadership at the school is essentially nonexistent.
