Individuality not encouraged. Academics not stressed. Discipline against rowdy, disruptive children not strong enough. 50% of the staff is up to par. Okay school, but if you can do better...do so. My child was in the gifted program and did not learn much. We are moving partly because of the school.

I see an emphasis on skills but taught in a way that applies those skills to everyday life over a multitude of subjects. Students are exposed to art, music and technology on a weekly basis.
