GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
The school is small in size but growing with students every year. There needs to be more inclusion for neurodivergent children however, there are some teachers that seem well versed in supporting those children. The principal this year did not seem to fit the school.. the one prior was very good, it was easy to see how she positively affected the teachers and students.

"Dogs are welcome. An abnormal number of people use ‘leaf’ blowers for tiny yards..sometimes with no trees??? It bothers me, so I’m imagining dogs don’t like it either... I’m hoping there will a rake revival."

"I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 3 years and I love it. The area is beautiful and the homes are well maintained. However, there are no sidewalks, NO privacy and the people are VERY nosy in general. Also the HOA’s run everything, they literally tell you what you can and cannot do in your own home and yard. Every last little detail."
