AMAZING SCHOOL FILLED WITH AMAZING STAFF!! Ms. Pizzo is the best principal my three kids have ever had, she's super involved, every morning on the morning announcements she acknowledges students' hardwork and efforts, she dresses up for every event and holiday. She just makes it's fun to be at her school, and so do the teachers. This school has so much student involvement and events it's wonderful. My daughter has attended this school for 1st & 2nd grade- Armer & Jones- and they have been the most fantastic teachers, and I've literally seen them go out of their way for their students. These teachers aren't just people being paid to be there, they're teachers that love their students, love their jobs, and really make everyone feel valued. The worst part about this school is having to leave it. My daughter has had some learning difficulties, and the entire school has come together to help her catch up and not get left behind. The physical appearance is clean, well maintained, and covered in student's school work. I really would recommend this school to everyone. I've noticed all the reviews on this school are 3-4yrs old.... The school really has come a long way I guess. But as of the present it is a wonderful school.

This is a great school, with wonderful staff. It seems like about 10% of the teachers are newer teachers, the rest are seasoned vets. The staff is very supportive of students who try hard, but are kind of lenient towards students who behave poorly. Though the Teachers do work hard to try and engage the students. The Special Education Department is Tier 1 in my opinion. They are constantly taking the SPED students on trips to expose them to new things, getting new technology to help the SPED students learn in different ways, advocating for the students in areas that their families may not have known about. If you have a SPED student, you may want to add this school to your list. As far as safety is concerned, there are cameras everywhere, and there are around 10 security guards, and a School resource officer who works on Campus daily. The campus isn't easy to access to outsiders.The administrators like to invite parents to the school after hours for college preparedness workshops, as well as many other community events held throughout the school year. There are a whole host of extra curricular activities that this school offers as well. Things like sports, acting, art, music, photography, etc.The grounds are beautiful, and well maintained. The facility has a full sized Theatre, excellent football field, and basketball court, and a great weight room.Overall this school is a good school with some room to improve. I would still recommend though.
