GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I do not recommend this school or the school district, it does not have good teachers, they excuse themselves saying that they do not have staff, the academic level is very low and they have preferences for some people, they do not help the parents much less the students, they always have teachers from other countries who do not have adequate preparation. The principal and her staff are disrespectful and never help you with anything because she cares more about her staff than the students. Its staff are retired teachers because no one wants to work at that school due to lack of salary increases.

"Great dog area but lots of leash restrictions, so not a lot of options for off leash play time. I always come up on at least 2 poops that someone didn’t pick up, hiking trails and sidewalks alike. Traffic is increasingly worse every year due to tourism, lack of public transit and housing growth. "
