My son was always well above grade level in all academic areas. He tested into their G&T program and attended 2nd grade here. It was by far the worst experience of his grade school life. He quickly began hating school and didn't want to attend. Something took a turn for the worst. I believe it had to do with what their perception of gifted looks like. Gifted should be treated as special needs.... and kids are not just there for numbers!!! They are people! My child was suddenly broken and failing every class with no explanation. To make matters worse instead of offering support and intervention they set up a meeting that I was told would be an "IEP" meeting but actually was just me the AP and his teacher telling me I should take my child elsewhere. When I mentioned evaluation, they refused. As if a gifted student couldn't possibly be twice exceptional and receive services. In no way was this the right way to treat any Parent or student. I would stay away. My son is currently on the honor roll in the sixth grade and when I reflect on his second-grade school year and look back at his report cards I can't help it but feel such regret for ever stepping foot in this school with my child. He is intellectual, kind and sensitive and this school was not a good environment for him at all.

Outstanding. The school has great arts programs as well: full time dance and art teachers, after school options, and an amazing drum line.

The School had its ups and downs, i loved most of the teachers they taught me well and gave me great advice for the real world, Its mostly the Principal and sometimes the APs, both APs were great though, with the students also they had there days where it would be altercations but overall if your looking for more straight forward education and not much extracurricular activities then this school is for you
