Going downhill really fast. The bullying in school and then shaming by the leadership if reported is terrible. The droning on about 'equity' and not education related activities, performances, and art has made this an un-serious institution. We get it, you like to virtue signal, but it is killing basic math, reading, and science education performance. We are leaving the school ASAP.

I have two children in the PYP (primary years program) and they are both thriving. The staff and teachers are warm, caring and provide a nurturing but highly structured environment. Starting in kindergarten, classes go on so many field trips and truly do use the city as an extension of their classrooms. Class sizes are small enough that teachers are able to really get to know each student. At the end of kindergarten last year, my child was reading independently at a level at least a few years ahead of her age. We work with her at home on this, so I can’t say it’s all because of the school. But it rarely is the case that a child’s progress is only due to classroom learning. Would highly recommend Daystar to other parents.

My student has been at this school for two years now and loves it. They are eager to see their friends each day and the teachers are very invested in the students learning. Love our experience so far!

This review applies to the Pre-K program. The teacher is new and inexperienced. They are ill equipped to handle a Pre-K program. Unless your child is a robot, they do not know how to handle a child with personality, curiosity, or active (like what most children ages 3-5 should be). They are always constantly calling us over small incidents and we’ve had to pick up our child several times. They also keep wanting to schedule a face to face, and once we are able to make time, they suggest our child needed an ‘evaluation’. When we look over their own assessment of our child, we couldn’t disagree more. They claim our child is not capable of so many different tasks, but we see her do them all the time outside of school. These people think they are qualified child psychologists with PHDs, when in reality the only qualification the teacher has is bible school and she has a lot of little siblings. The moment that reaffirmed our skepticism of this school and their feedback on our child came when we found out a friends child, and also our friend’s friends child, all received similar comments and suggestions to get their children to get evaluated also. Stay far away from here unless your kid is a robot. They even went as far as isolating our child on a daily basis, which is counter to the whole reason we are sending her there (to socialize and play with her peers). We’ve since pulled our child away from this school and enrolled at another. She is thriving and I constantly ask the new teachers for updates and they’ve had no complaints. My child would even say ‘thank you daddy for sending me to new school’.

I'm in 5th grade and this school is horrible.The principal is rude she be hitting the kids in the school,screaming at them,and she denies its everytime.
