They brought music and items for games and helped us to have a really great time! It is EXHAUSTING running around in those balls. I took away a star because the balls kept losing air and needed to be refilled after games. The guys said they get new balls annually, so some of them were showing age I guess. We had a really good time, and it was a fun and different activity! Definitely worthwhile checking out with these guys!

Overall, your child can learn really well at the school. They tend to perform above state level and…read morethe infrastructure is clean. However, the school only seems to care about academics and push the kids until they approach burn out at a very young age. The work is higher than their level and the work load is extensive so the kids become frustrated very early on. There is homework every day and even during holiday breaks. There's no room for the child to be a child (I.e play, make friends, interact, laugh, etc.). They are not allowed to talk or even laugh. Recess and lunch is crammed into one hour and even then they're not allowed to speak to each other because you have to keep your "volume at zero." There are no real extracurricular activities and everything is strict and rigid. Even when they make it seem like they're doing something fun, it's just more academic stuff. If you want your child to be enrolled in a mini bootcamp that performs well academically it's a good fit. Conversely, there's no room for social emotional learning. Many of the teachers also speak to the children anyhow and out of frustration because i believe they too are burnt out as evidenced by the low retention rate. There's literally 1-4 teachers there that actually speak to the kids kindly. You better be able to fall in line and perform well if you want to survive there. Parents feel disconnected from the school because of the lack of warmth but complaints just fall on deaf ears. Despite feeling frustrated, many of us just stay because we believe it's the better alternative to the public schools in the area. Wouldn't really recommend.

The emotional impact has been profound, and some of the changes have felt irreversible. fearful, anxious, self loathing. His fear of school, anxiety, withdrawal, nightmares, aggression, loss of confidence, and overall regression. As a parent, there is nothing more horrifying than realizing that a place you trusted with your child may contributed to lasting harm. During pickups, I personally witnessed and overheard interactions between school leaders and teachers that I found tense, hostile, and deeply inappropriate. The strain was not subtle. atmosphere is clearly emotionally unsafe and made me seriously question what children might be witnessing or experiencing when parents are not present. A child in my kids class was committing during a test day and forced to continue through the test by a principal named Tanika Archer. Jamila Kelly. Diana Tate This is the current lead team. I am deeply disappointed When educators appear intimidated, say they feel unsupported, and are routinely treated with hostility, parents should be concerned about how that pressure affects the entire school environment! these are our babies. Children absorb the tension around them. Based on what I witnessed and the changes I observed in my own child, I no longer feel confident that this was a healthy or nurturing place for students. I was also alarmed that I could not find the normal review history for the school's locations on Google. Parents deserve accessible, transparent feedback when making decisions about where to place their children. The absence of that transparency raised another serious red flag for me. I wish I had known then what I know now. Please speak directly with current and former families, ask detailed questions about staff turnover, discipline practices, leadership conduct, and student emotional safety, and pay close attention to any changes in your child. Do not dismiss sudden fear, withdrawal, regression, or distress. I entrusted this school with my child. I will live with that decision and its consequences for a very long time.
