Went here for elementary school from about 2012 to May 2015, it was absolutely amazing. I can't say that I sure of how different it is now as of 2021 but if I were younger, I'd definitely want to go there again. (I miss you Ms. Jackie from HEART, Mrs. Krumm from kindergarten and Mrs. Goodall from 2nd grade!)
