I agree with the last writer, it all comes down to getting the right teacher for me, and the parental involvement is amazing both in the classroom and out.

The school has a great Art Attack program as well as music and dance. My child really likes his teacher and class. The school environment is very warm and parents are involved. The only negative, is that there is no computer lab and limited computers in lower grades.
