Love the teachers at this school! Very caring!! Also the principal is wonderful. I have no worries when I send my kids to school each day. I know they are in great hands!

This school has been a big disappointment. It is probably fine for most kids, but our first grader needs special reading and language arts instruction which have not been made available. The special reading instructions for students is focused on standardized test, and there is little or no focus on the quality of the overall education. The caliber of most of his teachers has been shockingly poor. I can not recommend this school, but only in contrast to most of the other public schools in the area.
