While this school is nice and clean, I will not recommend this school to anyone. The principal and staff doesn’t know how to handle bullying and they don’t report anything to parents when something happens at school. So parents please do your research.

"This is a very friendly and quiet neighborhood. The long cul-de-sac provides for safe walking and riding of bikes. The mountains and sunset views are spectacular in this serene area surrounded by open land."
