I rate this school a four because u don't have to go to school so early and we get all our nutrition and warm food.

Russell Olson: My daughter had not known anything other than private school until this year. She has made the transition smoothly, largely because of the knowledgable and curteous staff. She enjoys Acacia, and says the food is OK too.
