GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I would give this School 10 out of ten stars. This school promotes parent involvement and all of my children’s teachers have been proactive in meeting their needs academically and emotionally. They really stress the importance of daily attendance, respect for others, self accountability, and praise positive behavior. Their are also many workshop and family dinners held at the school to teach parents how to assist their child with reading math, science and study habits. There’s a strong sense of community here and the PTA and the school work wonderfully together for the success of all the students.
