This school is excellent for both college preparation and career preparation. For future college students, they offer a wide array of AP courses. For non college, they offer courses in a variety of trades. The school offers a college like atmosphere where the students are given a lot of responsibility in their education. This is great for motivated kids, but there are plenty of unmotivated kids who skip a lot of classes and do poorly. The school is criticized for lack of diversity, and I agree with that because the area is mostly rich, white and liberal. The rich, white, liberal kids tend to be entitled, spoiled and LAZY. Our son was not raised like this. He goes to school every day, does not skip classes, works hard on his homework, studies for tests, and goes to bed at a decent time to get a good night's sleep. With these habits, he makes mostly As, but he has plenty of friends who have bad habits and get poor or mediocre grades. Education is what you make it. This school gives students every opportunity to excel, but they cannot force kids to do their homework or prevent kids from staying up all night wasting time on social media and Tiktok.

I have no doubt this elementary school must be one of the best around. I have researched it a lot. As a prospective parents, we were happy that a slot was available for our child. Unfortunately, it must be said, there is still a level of racism present. It is not outspoken, of course, but one knows exactly, one can tell. You see, we are not your typical white Caucasian family. We are Hispanic. We are well educated and have professional degrees. None of that matters of course, just how you look, I guess. Basically my experience is as follows: we received a letter indicating that a spot was available for our child. We decided to visit the place one day, and, boy, what a chilling reception. Nothing wrong or insulting was said to us, but the body language and the words, or severe lack of them. are as clear as anything. The receptionist/secretary person was clearly giving me the message "I do not want you here, when are you leaving already?". As much as a fake smile and some cold answers may try to ameliorate this awkward meeting, one can tell. Very sad, and I think that if my child was there, it would be a nightmare to endure, and I don't think I want my child to go through that.

This school is bad. The vice principal is the meanest person I have ever met.
