School Reviews
4 8/13/2019
All my kids went to this school grades K-5. Overall, it is a good school with active parents, PTA, and volunteers. Some teachers are over the top outstanding. However, there are a few difficult ones and the new principal is not as on top of issues as the old principal who was there 20+ years. The mediocre gifted program, but that's the whole Montgomery County school system. Still, overall a good solid school.
