"I am a parent of both a second grader and kindergartener and I can say that I have been so pleased with the new leadership and the quality of teachers. My sons are learning a great deal and are definitely on bare with our private school friends. The one disappointing thing is this roll coaster ride that is the level of involvement from parents. It can vary widely despite efforts to rally parents to help. The school is great, I think it is just unfortunate that parents take it for granted."

"I am very pleased with this school. My daughter came here from a very good private school. Last year was her first year here and she adjusted very well to fourth grade. This is her second year here and I'm please with her academic progress. The teachers here challenge her to reach higher. Her transition from a private to a public school has been assisted by the undertanding prinicple and staff. The diverse community is well represented here a Newberry. I will continue to support the extra cirirriclium as well as the fundrasiers to help them to pursue thir goals."

"My child has had excellent teachers that motivate her further. She likes it here. Principal and office staff are clannish and focus on the "usual suspect" parents and flex their muscles on others. Room for improvement here. Bright spot Asst Prin Collins carries most of the burden graciously. That being said, the school is stellar due to parent involvement."

"My daughter has been here since kindergarten and is currently in the first grade. I think the schools academics are wonderful. The other day she was helping a friend in 2nd grade at another magnet school do homework on subtraction and word problems. She understood and was able to explain her answers. I find that to be OUTSTANDING! While the work my seem to be challenging, I do believe she will on or above level with the rest of the world. She's learning to tell time and count money already and her reading is above average. The science class and lab are wonderful. My daughter has been teaching me about plants that I didn't know existed. Thank you Newberry!"
