I have two children in this school. Admittedly they had problems in 2004.those problems were recitfied immediately, the parents were invited to voice their concerns.

There a number of programs they do have that are not seen in other schools. They reading program is terrific. They attend music and phys ed weekly.

They make school a wonderful place for children to love learning Read less
