I meant to give it a 1 I used to feel it was becoming a 5 star school, but lately locking the office door, yet the classrooms are wide open, won't allow you to check your kids out unless you have a note prior to the appt (sometimes impossible). I don't know what magical world they live in where urgent care or sporadic visits aren't able to be made, or I don't have appts and have to get them early. They won't release them to me early. I just missed an appt 2 days ago due to this, & I've been waiting for a opening for this specialist for 6 months. I've donated so much to school events, and volunteered often, yet when I come to celebrate my kid's bday, 30 mins before school ends, they tell me I can't go to the classroom. Never have I not been able to celebrate holidays/bdays /my kids' classes. Every holiday I make goodie bags for all my kids' classes & after school program, now they want to hold kids hostage & keep parents from being involved. It's sad what this school is turning into. My kids are not in good hands like I used to feel they were. They are just meal tickets for the school now. Not a pleased parent. This school was family oriented now they're more about money.

My two children are international students at this school and have achieved excellent progress here. The teachers are all professional and patient, with their ESL teachers delivering particularly high-quality instruction. We also benefit from the academic support offered by Yale student volunteers. Moreover, the school’s varied activities effectively promote students’ comprehensive abilities.
