School Reviews

5   9/30/2014
I have been very pleased with this school so far! My daughter is in the 3K program and has learned so much already. I would however like to know each day how my child's day has went and this school doesn't do that. They send a newsletter home once a week, but then again you still don't know how well your child has done, it only states what they've been learning.

As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
