Attending this school was the most traumatizing experience of my life, and I am still affected by…read moreit to this day. I graduated in 2019, and throughout my time there, both students and teachers displayed extreme racism that the administration continuously ignored or excused. Students on the worship team would call us "monkeys" and tell us to "go back to Africa." When we reported it, the principal's response was, "I don't think they meant it like that." This dismissal became a pattern,every racist act was brushed aside instead of being taken seriously. During my senior year, a teacher, Todd Manske, physically and verbally attacked my friends and me in the school parking lot. We were listening to clean music in our car when he ran up, slammed on the door, and screamed: "Do you think little kids want to hear N-word, N-word, this early in the morning?!" He actually said the full racial slur multiple times, with rage in his face as he hit the car. I was terrified he was going to hurt us. The school did absolutely nothing. This teacher is still employed there today.Another student, Austin Strandlund, repeatedly threatened my sister's life, saying he would lynch her and shoot her if she ever came to his house. Once again,the school did nothing. This same student and another mocked George Floyd's death as if it were a joke. When students of color stood up and told them it was wrong, another student, Mark Ustimchuk, told us to "LEAVE AMERICA." The school ignored it until we exposed the incident on social media and it went viral. Even then, the students only received a light slap on the wrist. Austin also brought a Confederate flag to prom in 2019. When we reported it, the secondary principal excused it by saying, "Well, his parents said it was okay." Yet, in the same breath, the school forced me and another Black student to remove our "Black Excellence" shirts. Austin would also "joke" daily about shooting up the school and said that my sister and I would be the first targets. Despite reporting this, nothing was ever done to protect us.This school is not a Christian school,it is a breeding ground for racism, hate, and trauma. The administration enabled both students and teachers to degrade and threaten students of color without consequence. To this day, I am deeply scarred by how I was treated there, and I am speaking out so no other family has to go through what mine did. Do not bring your kids to this school.

And may or may not make you pass liquid fire for three hours straight. We also have a pretty nice activities center.

Parents beware. If your kid has behavioral issues this school can be down right abusive towards…read morethem. I would not recommend sending your kids here. When I attended back in 2016-2017, they sent out an email to parents telling their kids not to be friends with me. What kind of establishment does that? The bullying from the children was bad, but the adults? Far worse. Ms Bailey and Mr O were the worst. I just checked their staff list and Mr O, better known as Curtis Olufson still works here. Curtis would constantly pull me into his office for the smallest infractions and would come up to me in the hallways and lobby with accusatory behavior when I wasn't doing anything wrong. Curtis, since I'm now an adult and can speak to you as one. Screw you. You made my school life hell. I hope that you have changed as a person, since I was a student under you but I doubt it. I sincerely hope that you are not making other students feel the way you made me feel. Parents please be aware of him and ask your students their opinion on him to make sure he isn't targeting them.

Groves has been life changing for my son. He started in fourth grade and now he's in seventh. I…read morenoticed early on that he wasn't reading. Covid shut down for second grade didn't help either. He attended a different private school for third grade, but it didn't fit his needs. But they did help us discover that he had a problem with his eyes and needed eye therapy in order to be able to read. I was very concerned that he had missed the formative years of foundational, reading and writing. This is what led us to Groves. Most of his teachers have been spectacular every year. Extremely nurturing and encouraging. He's made huge strides in reading and writing. He now has so much more confidence and feels very comfortable at the school. The teachers are very communicative with parents. Also, the speech and language tutoring has been very helpful as well. If your child has issues with reading and writing, literacy, and executive functioning, I highly recommend Groves. I am so grateful for this school. They are doing very important work there and helping so many kids.

I am still a full time PSEO student (this is my first and last year of PSEO as I am graduating high school as a junior in 2026) but this school was genuinely more challenging (in a good way) than my college classes are.
