I really love the teachers and staff at this school. There is lots of diversity in all aspects. Every child has many resources available to them. My second child will start there next month, and I have no doubt he will be successful! I do think their traffic plan stinks, but most of the school pickups in this town are difficult! I think the Parent Organization does a good job, but it's not easy for a parent that works until 5 or later to get to a meeting.

This school doesn’t care about lower income students and families and failed all three of my kids

Both my children attended here K through 5. They were challenged and well supported throughout their school experience. The principal is so personable and all the kids know her. The teachers use technology in creative ways. The staff works together and strives to put the students’ needs first. The majority of the teachers are frequently working before and after hours on their own time to ensure they deliver quality lessons. Parents are encouraged and expected to be participants in their child’s education. This is far different than the implication that parents have to do the teaching. I feel it is fair and appropriate that I practice reading with my child, practice math facts, or help with homework. I personally call it being a parent. I’ve never seen a school and staff that is perfect in every way. However, they do Set the bar high and I appreciated it.
