My son is a Highly intelligent, High energy kid to say the least & I have been very Impressed with this school! My son is in 1st Grade now & he has had 2 excellent teachers so far. The New Principal is involved & Very Motivated to Improve the school in any way that he can. I have read several comments
... Read more from parents that were Negative & all I can say is, 'if you expect a school to raise your child, maybe you should Home School.' If you are willing to participate & help your child & their teacher then I think you will see better results, No matter what school you choose. If you do have a problem with your child's teacher or even another student, the principal is willing to listen & mediate the situation. The office staff has always been nice to me even when they are busy! Read less

Yes the school is clean, but it is also still very new. The ladies in the office can be nice, but only if you catch them on a good day. The principle does show plenty of involvement, but does not meet the needs of parents. Most of the teachers are really great. Would not recommend this school.
