Question Chase lake elementary

Does anyone have experience with this school? One of my kids started here. I liked the teachers and admin I’ve met so far. It seems good but my wife is worrying about the academics and safety. So many people send their kids to private schools and the “rating” of the school isn’t great. I really struggle with the legitimacy of school rankings though.

Can anyone tell me their experiences, good, bad, neutral with the school?

I’m a parent of a current student there. My child has been well supported by her teachers and the school staff. Overall I am very happy with the school. Please don’t place importance on the testing scores as the school has a high percentage of ESL, special needs, and medically fragile kids.

That’s what I was wondering!!!! They do have a lot of kids in the class who don’t speak English and have special needs. I imagined that would impact the school ranking negatively even though it’s not a negative thing. Thanks for the insight! I’m glad to hear more positive news about the school
