My child just started this school and I am very disappointed. The staff is very unorganized, they lack communication with each other as well as with the parents. The level of the school work for a 1st grader is preschool level at best. Chaos runs the school, not the staff. They put more effort creating

The teachers are great, the school overall is o.k., the principal not so great. He not in touch with the community and tells parents what he thinks they want to hear.

Hi my son has been going to this school since Pre-K. He is now in Kindergarten. I am a parent who use to attend this school and apart of the PTA.

So that is up to the parent not the school.. Yes you might have to pay for a lot of the extra activities but it is worth every penny. It gives your child a chance to do different things. Maybe this year we (the parents) can try to come up with more programs. Read less
