My daughter has been attending this school for two years, and she likes it. I can see how her grades and responsibility are improving every day. They have a lot of sports activities for the students.

The previous principal was very involved, warm, amazing and created a positive and thriving environment that motivated and supported children and teachers and families in such a positive manner and welcomed diversity in so many ways. Students were really encouraged to "be the 3", helping them to take pride in themselves, and encouraged them to act morally with all others- which alleviated bullying, discrimination and reckless behaviors. Now it seems kids feel a little liberated to act out without repercussions or feeling bad about it- lacking moral compass at school. Gifted program was great before- a lot of engaging truly gifted projects and truly gifted learning, some teachers retired, and now kids are pressured on test scores- so more focus on academics testing. Truly gifted students need all different types of support. Kids should have a fun learning environment in elementary with innovative approaches to teaching. This is still a very good school, but a lot of parents I know applied for other school options this upcoming year. Hopefully the new principal can settle in and continue to extend warmth and care and an increased positive involvement for all- teachers, students, families- to continue this school's legacy!

The primary issue I have with this school is the apparent lack of clear, established processes for drop-off, pickup, and dismissal.First, there is no clear guidance on where the pickup line is supposed to begin—before or after the stop sign. On numerous occasions, I have witnessed vehicles waiting past the stop sign and effectively cutting the entire line, rather than lining up as intended. These are not early pickups; they are cars bypassing the line altogether. This concern was raised with the school via email several weeks ago, yet the issue continues to occur without any visible correction or enforcement.My second concern involves student safety during dismissal. When exiting the school and traveling down Stribling toward 441, I have observed students cutting across the median. At that time, the security guard appears focused solely on directing bus traffic, and there are no teachers present to supervise or prevent this behavior. Regardless of responsibility boundaries, this presents a serious safety risk, and it would reflect very poorly on the school if a child were injured as a result.This review reflects my honest experience and observations. I hope the school takes these concerns seriously and considers implementing clearer procedures and supervision to improve both safety and traffic flow.
