It is a terrible school. Save your children. If I could give it negative five stars, I would. I attended this school for two years and I could not grow and improve in any classes. My family was in their founding class, and we felt severely mislead. I felt that all of the work was far too easy and the focus was on mandatory phasework, rather than academics. They offered no way to help students who needed more rigorous materials to grow, and there was too much homework. They were also far too focused on test scores and not on if the kids were actually learning. The school prides itself on its diversity, but they were never very open to diverse perspectives. I was constantly being shut down by my teachers and staff when I was expressing my feelings or views, without being listened to. They said we all had a voice and encouraged us to speak, but only if you were saying exactly what they were. This school isn't well suited for students who need to be challenged academically and don't need intense social/emotional support. I do believe it can be helpful for those who are behind academically, to meet grade level.
