For the most part this school does what it can to make life easier for its students but occasionally some of the teachers are more interested in making smart comments then teaching kids to actually be smarter.

"We live here for part of the year and will be moving here full time in the next 2 years. The area is well maintained by property owners. Walkability to restaurants, shopping and entertainment is the best we have found. We seldom need to leave the island for anything and when we do, we seldom have to drive more than 5-6 miles."
