I always thought it was cool that my school was #1. Not just because we were the best, but we were…read moreliterally School District #1. I don't know if they assign numbers based on the number of students, with #1 having the fewest, but it sure was a small school. It has naturally gone downhill since I graduated, but LHS in the late 80's/early-90's kicked ass. Well, at least the girls' athletic program did. We dominated most sports during that time. We had the best coaches and a cool administration. I will always miss James P. Doolin who was, without a doubt, the coolest Principal ever. Did your principal ever dress up as Bozo the Clown to help raise money for some random cause? He was always in a good mood, joking and kidding with the students. From what I'm told, the school is overrun with whiny kids whose parents come running to their defense at every turn. They don't even have enough kids to support a real sports program. It's really sad and embarrassing. Although, I suppose it's like that everywhere these days. Even so, Go Panthers!

Back in 1999 I would of never thought I would ever find my self writing a review for my old high…read moreschool. It is really a full circle thing for me as this school was the home to my 1st internet experience & the place I registered my 1st e-mail address that I still use today. All of that aside; This review is not for the educational factor it self as much as on the particular visit I was in the auditorium for a viewing of Wild Bill a one man show done by Walt Willey (All My children & a hometown guy who actually attended school here as well) The auditorium is now air conditioned and has been updated very well since my time here. The seats are rowed and numbered, the stage is fantastic, the only and only issue is that there is no true concession. If you ever see a ticket and OTHS is the venue you will not be disappointed fantastic parking and a nice down town loaction,

Quilting In The Valley is one of the nicest quilt shops - Lisa and Tina are both knowledgeable and…read morevery kind. Her prices are reasonable. Her sales are amazing. Anybody who knows quilt shop know that all the fabric is custom and if you wanna make a custom piece of art, this is the place to go. I have learned a lot and have beautiful quilts to show for it which I've gifted most of them, but anybody wants to go she'd really check out the store and also she has an online business as well on Facebook.

So my son cant get a MAP grant for college bc the state is broke but Saratoga School is classifying full time school employees as part time and they get state medical benefits?! Do the state a favor- run ALL your employees names, dayes of birth and socials thru the system so the state can find the freeloaders and we can get back on track financially!

Over the past couple of school years, I have learned that Parkview Christian Academy is only…read morebeneficial to the student attending the lower campus. Once middle school starts, the environment shift's drastically. I have also learned most teachers here aren't qualified. Parkview teaches their own perspective of what a Christian should be, and quite frankly, that is very unprofessional. The lower campus is growing mold, the upper campus sells expired sodas, chips, and other treats. Last year was parkviews downfall after they hired a principle by the name of Kerri mccastland. The principle only showed up about 5 times a month, if that. The days she would show up, she would yell at students at a voice not even a mother could scream at her child with, and the way she would try and "resolve" problems was very inappropriate for a principal. She would bring the student into the office and talk to them in a tone so unprofessional, it was as if the student was talking to their peers. At the end of the discussion, there was no discipline, it was as if she just wanted to yell at them with the student getting no point across, just getting yelled at. When students tried reporting something, instead of resolving it, it would be a one sided argument. They're was a front desk employee named Mary Ellen West, she was always gossiping with the principle, locked in the office, and often times students would sit in the lobby, waiting for them to finish gossiping. Point-blank-period, Parkview Christian Academy was terrible

Peaceful Pathways is an amazing school…read more I have two children that are alumni from PPMA. My son attended from kindergarten to eighth grade and my daughter attended from third grade to eighth grade. They are now 22 and 25 and have a strong self image that I attribute to PPMA. Many years ago when I was thinking about homeschooling my daughter, I read up on many different educational practices. I came across the Montessori education and loved everything that I read about it. My two children have grown up into successful adults, and I will forever be grateful for PPMA in their formative years. Sincerely, Jeff

My kids have been with the program several years, from 6months old and the parent child class to…read morethe primary program. They have learned how to take responsibility for the tasks they can accomplish with pride (mostly, I mean, some days you need a snack or a nap, you know). The montessori school methods they have taught me have improved my parenting. I have learned to listen to my children and consider their needs and how to redirect or train my kiddos. To expect my kids want independance in their abilities toncare for their space, themselves and others. They are curious, informative, moldable and happy. I am amazed at how calm the classroom environments are. They truly are little communities that respect each other and care for each other. Every teacher and aid that I have encountered seem to really enjoy what they do. I am impressed.
