"If you have an energetic child or if any of teachers won't like your child, you will have a lot of troubles and bunch of notes coming home daily. I and my wife adopted child from overseas and from day 1 we've told that he needs to be in special ed class. When we asked why, she said he was ignoring teachers. The Oksana "ELL teacher" was following us for 3 years now trying to get our son in S.E. Children figured out that our son gets in trouble easily, setting him up on purpose and making fun of him. Academically, I would agree it's good school, but the way teachers treat children and their parents, that's nuts... last year we've home schooled our son and when he came back to school 2016-2017 school year, he started behaving a lot better, but still we keep hearing about special ed and what most interesting they told us that they will get him there even without our aproval. That made us to lean toward home schooling."

"This is a great school. Teachers are wonderful, push kids to excel, but in a non-threatening way. Caring, respectful to different culture, in a nutshell-good place for a child to grow. Love the school."
