I admit when I looked at the great schools score I was nervous about my child attending. But I have been pleasantly surprised with this school. Her teachers have been amazing communicators and my daughter has said nothing but positive things about the teachers and their care and understanding. We are a military family and they went out of their way to meet with my child and ease her transition to a new school and state. My only complaint would be with the other students themselves —— there were a lot of behavior issues in her classroom. … but I believe that has more to do with the students parents than with the school.
