As with every other school in the district, this school is not perfect. But, my child will remain here as long as possible. She is now in first grade and she got an excellent education as kindergartner. I make it my personal mission to know what's going on in this school and of coarse, that pays off.

And she always has a song to sing about something new she's learned. Anyone in that school that my daughter had contact with on a regular basis, I did as well. The school is great because the staff as well as my personal involvement make it that way. Read less

Due to they are not even using computers in class yet and the physical education needs to be more involved in the curriculum. They teach Tae kwondo and my daugter attends one day a week and with the rise of obesity and overweight in children we need more activity. Overall the school works well with what they have but they need to improve in some areas. Read less
