I have two children here one in 3rd and one in 4th and they have been at this school since K. We have had a great experience. Both of my kids are more advanced and they have taken steps every year to make sure they are still challenged in different ways so they stay ahead instead of staying stagnant or getting bored. Also, when I had an issue one time with another student and my child I was able to reach out to administrators and it was handled immediately. Teachers have always communicated great as well. I am thankful for all of the staff and their contributions to my children.
