You would be blessed to have Mrs. Garenia as your 1st graders teacher. She is everything a parent could ask for! As for the administration, it needs a bit of work.

Very good academically, although a bit test-driven. Parent participation is not necessarily welcomed, and the lack of physical activity/recess is alarming to me. The staff all know my first grader by name and the fact that the school is only comprised of 1st and 2nd graders is nice. Overall- good experience.
