I am deeply conflicted about writing a bad review about this school. My older child has been going there for many years and has been both very happy and successful there. Unfortunately, it is no longer the case. When we had issues with my younger son regarding his teacher we expected to solve these issues

What really upset us the most was the fact that she did not help but worsened the situation. We expected much more professionalism and effort from the leader of this otherwise great school! Read less

A great school. The teachers and the staff all work hard to keep the students motivated and focused on learning. My daughter gets about 30 minutes of homework, a little light for 4th grade. The new principal is a breath of fresh air.

I can't say enough about the great teachers, but, so far, I'm not excited about the new principal. The school seemed very welcoming to parents last year. The tone is much more adversarial this year and I'm so disappointed. Hopefully things inprove with time.

We moved in the middle of the year so my daughter was new to this school in February and the school placed her into a classroom where the teacher was leaving for maturity a week after she started. My daughter had a very hard time with this move and then the school put her in a unstable classroom. And

Also this school gates are constantly open for predator's to come in while kids walk around randomly in the courtyard. I am not at all happy with this school, and to tell you the truth I have not a clue as to how they are getting rated so high. But hopefully this next principal will be better! Read less

Last year the school got a new principal, apparently the third one in the last three or four years. The parking lot/drop off/pick up situation is a nightmare. I asked the new principal to call me because I had a suggestion-he didn't call me. The have 11 new teachers this year because staff left last

We should be encouraging our children to eat healthy. This schools teaches the AIMS test, that is the only reason why the scores are so high. The art program is lacking too. I don't think the discipline is good either. If your child gets in school suspension, they just put him/her in another classroom. They don't really learn anything that way. Read less
