GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
This school really needs younger and more socio-economically diverse representation. They seem really out of touch to the life of modern working parents and it operates like a quasi-private school. Communications come from so many different sources so that it becomes really hard to stay informed. I was very disappointed to find there is also a lot of screen time going on in the classroom (maybe a problem everywhere these days?) Many of the teachers are burned out and retiring. Drop off and pick up is a pain because you have to park at the bottom of a large hill and it's a bunch of tight one-way streets. With that said, the new afterschool program (LLS) is the best addition; the staff are energetic, engaged and make school fun.
