The academic performance provided is excellent. The school allows and encourages children to be excel in all the classes. The teachers provide 200% of their ability to assist that need that extra assistance without even thinking about it. They offer music, drama, dance, performing arts, and have basketball currently and are looking at the possibility of added more as the students request. There are quite a few parents in every class volunteering their time to assist the teachers. The principal also assists with the children and asks the children personally what they think of the school and the activities to see if they need to be modified or reviewed.

I found Sierra to be a very good school for children in kindergarten through third grade. The school went out of its way to orient kindergarten students. Classes were small with instruction individually tailored to each child. The academic program was accelerated but not onerous. The atmosphere among parents and staff was communal. After-school dance, art, karate and chess were offered by outside vendors. I found instruction in the upper grade levels was not as satisfactory.

We found Sierra School to be just plain too small. room? Not even enough for decent games on the playground. Sometimes, kids do act out and need re-direction, not major negative consequences for minor infractions. The school pushed academics, but taught in such a way that the children reguritated lessons instead of truly comprehending them.
