Very good

We had other less serious disappointments in the school. The library sent home books that were often not even aimed at the right age. At scholastic day, after encouraging us to send money with our son to buy books, he was sold direct commercial advertising for ninjago (compete with figurine) and dc comics. The classroom experience that seemed most prominent to him was the time spent playing an iPad game with the refrain, "I am a kitty cat, meow." We thought well of his teacher but had evidence that the school lacked a coherent educational philosophy and certainly was unable to deal with violent incidents at lunch and on the playground.

We were quite disappointed with Community Park. One of our son's kindergarten classmates was quite uncontrolled and sent him to the nurse after punching him repeatedly at lunch. This incident was followed up with others, including a chokehold while being pushed down the slide and one where he was dragged around the playground. The school was unable to change this situation, with one of the incidents happening the very afternoon after we'd had meetings with his teacher and the school counselor. We were directly told that our son, "needed to stand up for himself more," and that the school, "had no disciplinary policy." We ultimately transferred him midyear to the Wilberforce School, which has been superb.

Came here with a LivingSocial voucher for a 2.5-hour brunch / painting class. Tanya, the instructor, is a wizard with her students. She is affable, patient, and attentive. We created a full painting in the course, and learned some great techniques along the way. No experience is necessary!
