Beautiful school. Clean and well organized. Staff is friendly and very responsive and teachers really do seem like they like what they do. They are responsive to parent concerns and questions.

Bullying is rampant. The new principal does not seem to care when approached. Poor academics and low quality of materials for specials. This school can not seem to keep qualified staff. There is a lot of parent involement but that doesn't seem to help.
