I was at this school from 2013-to 2019 and still have siblings there now! Everyone was so understanding and helpful. The school had virtually no bullies and had an awesome gifted art program, PE program, and music program. In addition, the library has plenty of engaging books for children of all ages. From class, pet-owning kindergarten teachers to hilarious 5th-grade teachers there isn't anything better in the county. Lastly, I can't forget the awe-inspiring principal, office staff, and nurse! This school is clean and accepting of kids of different ethnicities and learning styles.
