My children LOVE this school. They have wonderful, dedicated staff that are always willing to go the extra mile to help a child or family in need. My son particularly enjoys the GT program, something that wasn't offered in the "better" school in the suburbs that he attended previously. Both of my children really enjoy the extra curricular activities as well as the personal attention they get from every member of staff, even the crossing guards know their names!
