If that's what you're needs are then I would say absolutely use the state credit and then enroll your child into public school or Model if you are looking for a real private school. My child was enrolled from PreK to 3rd grade after the huge downward spiral in the 3rd grade we pulled him due a number of issues including bringing solid proof to the principal that his teacher was harassing our child. We were told in so many words due to staffing issues that she will always pick the teacher over the student. We copied the superintendent with every single email as well and this was ignored. The teacher in question still works there. St. Marks used to be a safe place for my child and the third grade year was met with extreme anxiety due to this teacher. We were told to trust and there was no way this teacher was causing it. I feel ashamed I didn't pull my child sooner. You will not have the protection of a 504. My child is immunocompromised and I remember saying to the principal I am sorry my child doesn't have a cookie cutter illness like cancer. This year we have been going back and forth to Nortons in Louisville and will start having to travel to Cincinnati. The 504 I have in place with the public school protects my child. The teacher from last year refused to do a single thing the OT therapist requested, yet the public school and 5 teachers have not one issue. Save your money. Use it as a daycare and find a better place.

Saint Mark is the only fully accredited faith-based school in Madison County. If you are looking…read morefor a school with small class sizes, teachers who teach with passion, and where every single student is at or above grade level, then search no more. We have had our oldest in their Pre-K program since she was 2 and her development has been amazing to watch. Along with an exceptional K - 5 program they have the only Pre-K program in which children can go full time/part time, full day/half day. The best part is they can continue up through 5th grade so that they really get a sense of family in addition to a quality education. Character is what helps to set this school apart from others. The Pledge of Allegiance is said daily, and they actively encourage student prayers. At the end of each school day they set aside time where students can give "shout outs" to other students for their acheivements, as well as apologize for when their behavior may not have been up to par. This accountability comes from the students, which makes it even more special. The principal works day in and day out to ensure her students and staff have the tools they need to ensure a quality education. She is actively involved in the parent/teacher associations as well. I have never met teachers more devoted to the success of their students than those at Saint Mark. With small school sizes, they are able to pay more attention to each student as an individual and cater to their learning style more easily.

Trails around Lago and are not marked but clearly visible. They are very easy trails. Kayaks are available. Lifejackets are available. Propane grills were available on the cabin porches. Just make sure when you check before you get there that you have a full propane tank. Firewood is for sale or you can buy it at the nearby groceries or gas stations on your way in. Speaking of groceries and there's an IGA and Save A Lot within 20 minutes, gas stations, liquor, stores, Family Dollar and there's a downtown Berryville with shops. Farmers markets are seasonal. Check-in is super simple. They will email you a code to get into the door. You don't have to stop by and or check in with the office. We never met the owners. We met personnel on the campground. There's also docks that you can go sit at, gazebo, picnic tables. The actual cabin had towels, hand soap in the bathroom, dish soap, basic pots and pan utensils knives but if you want anything special, I highly recommend you packing it. Definitely want your seasonings food. There's a microwave. There's a coffee pot that uses filters for the 12 cup coffee maker. WiFi Cable tv Fire pit Two chairs on the porch great views There's plenty of sleep space with blankets sheets pillows, comfy couches small shower. We went to Wild Fork Stables to horse back riding. 30 mins away. At least 45 mins from Natural Bridges. There's a grocery gift shop 10 mins from Lago Bear Creek

My husband and I planned a fun weekend camping trip as our last one of the year, and after some…read morerecs from friends, decided to book sites at Lago Linda Hideaway. The booking process was decently easy; however, we were disappointed to see that it cost an additional $27 to choose your site, which felt steep and unnecessary. We forewent the cost and selected the option to have staff choose our site. We arrived around 8:30PM due to some hiccups on our travels. The office was still open and the place was busy. My husband went and checked us in. Since we hadn't selected a site, nor had they selected one for us, they gave us our choice of the 3 remaining sites. We drove around a few times and eventually landed on Piney Ridge #2. It was tricky to maneuver our truck/tent into the spot, but we managed. The woman who checked us in (one of the owners, I believe), said she didn't know that there was an extra charge to select your site or an option not to... seems like good info for them to know... Each site is supposed to come with it's own water and electric hookups. Sadly that wasn't the case for us. We had to call the front and ask to borrow 40ft of extension cords in order to use the electric AND had to ask the neighbor to unplug from one of the two outlets at HIS site. We also had to go into his camp or the other neighbor's whenever we wanted water. It wasn't the end of the world; just wasn't what we paid for. The campground is exttremely quiet after quiet hours (11PM), during the night, and in the AM. Super peaceful. It was also quiet during the day. The only time it was crazy was from 8-11PM when folks in their RVs were blasting music and partying. There are two bathrooms with showers and hot water. Be warned that one of them wasn't heated and I only got 2 min of hot water for my shower. They also aren't very clean or updated, but they certainly did the trick. They are also a HIKE from several of the sites, including ours, so be ready to go to the bathroom in the woods at night. The property itself is pretty and the skies were SO clear I think I saw more stars in one night than I have seen in years, cumulatively. The lake was the highlight. My husband and I spent an evening sitting on the dock talking and it was silent and peaceful and beautiful. There are several shared facilities on the property-- like a heated lounge area with a kitchen and a large covered deck and a communal dish washing station (which we used twice). Overall we had a REALLY good weekend and would stay here again. We like a mix of roughin' it and creature comforts when camping and that is just what Lago Linda delivered. I have a feeling we will stay here again!

We went up to a Indian lookout points, such a lovely view. We started heading West, which the sign did say was a difficult descent. But when we got to the cliff you had to climb down, the trail markers weren't totally clear, plus the sun was setting, so we decided to turn around and go to the Devil's Kitchen. It's amazing how difficult these trails are! We descended to multiple cliff formations with little caves to chill under. The scenery is 10/10. I just think the trail markers could be a tiny bit clearer. Highly suggest!

You can gain some extra mileage by visiting other overlooks on the mountain. I would say it's a moderate hike with some steep inclines and rocky areas to navigate. The trek up keeps me sweating.
