School Reviews

5 11/20/2014

Our daughter is a 5th grader at Stopher. We've been very pleased. The school is recently built, so the facility is top notch. The teachers are very good and easy to interact with. The school draws primarily from an affluent area, so most families are educated and involved. Our child is doing well. She has a fair amount of homework which includes reading and a wide range of studies.
