They need less muddled general organization and more effective Positive help and Inspiration. Come on Las Flores, get some backbone in your classrooms! Absolutely Nothing after school for 6th graders and all parental info meetings during the day - we're not all stay at home moms! We left. Read less

I believe this school has plenty of potential, but I would recommend to pick better staff (the teachers)! Over all I think this school is very nice, but they do not like much parent involvment and not very many extracurricular activies are offered to the students.

This school is absolutely unbelievable. Great techers, great environment, and a great front office. I would say it is the best I've seen and that's something because I've seen over 500!
