I have an older child at this school and now a second one starting out. As a parent over the years, I learned so much about this school, teachers, staff and programs it has to offer. First off, the principal Mr. Christ has always acknowledged my emails from transportation to programs etc. The teachers are always responding and communication is always an open line! The emotional checks and making sure students are establishing themselves well always happens. I think the content taught could be better however there are kids of all levels in the “normal classes” and they do this as kids tend to grasp ideas much better when explained by their peers. I know my older child is gifted material but always missed the mark by a few points and now it’s too late but I’ve also seen the gifted kids stick to themselves and don’t mix well. I also hear the gifted programs will be leaving the district so if that’s something you are looking for, you may want to reconsider. The PTA at this school is fabulous. They always raise lots of money for the students & faculty appreciation! The kids here have exposure to many events during school and after school as well! All of the schools in the district have been remodeled and they have done a great job with this school. It looks very modern when you walk in. The classrooms might look a little outdated but I hope that’s something they look into for the future. As my older one exits this school, I’m glad I have another one started here. I wouldn’t look into private schools in place of this one!

Nah I don't like the curriculum plus they are too strict with the cellphone policy as well but overall its a good school

Send your child here if you want them to be bright and got a good future above their head. The food quality was fine, my children told me that the food was the same, potato tots, fries, and cheese. Some days are vegetables and fruit drinks. But it's overall good.About diversity and people, they are lots of Asian people here, mostly Japanese. Some of them are cool and some of them shouldn't be hang out with. It depends on each students. But overall of this school is great.
