Very nice school. I miss this school very much. Teachers and administration are very nice and respectful.

Low parent interaction, still waiting for my son's teacher to set up a parent/teacher conference and school ends in two months. My son cries before school everyday saying the teachers pick on him, and I even tried called the principal and assistant principal, still have yet to hear a word. My son will NOT be returning!
