Ms. McCawley is such an amazing 3rd grade teacher. She's truly changed my son's attitude towards school singlehandedly. TheClassroom atmosphere is so positive and all the children enjoy being in her classroom. The lessons are well-structured and organized. Her passion for teaching is evident, she has a strong ability to identify struggling students and bring them up to par without slowing the other students down. She's an excellent and consistent communicator with parents. Her instructional pacing is appropriate andShe seems to always find ways to add more opportunities for enrichment tasks to challenge high-achieving students. She's a perfect fit for this school and I'm so lucky that my child was fortunate to have her as a teacher.

Grade inflation is rampant here - meaning a student who coasts looks on paper the same as an engaged student who does their best, which is unfair when they’re competing for the same college spots. Seriously, at graduation they ask students with a 3.8 or higher to rise, and 3/4 of the kids stand!

Honestly, as a person that has moved around a lot, this school has been the best one yet. Most of the teachers genuinely care about you, and they create a really fun and engaging classroom environment. The counselors are amazing, and I had a lot of friends going through things that got tons of support from counselors and teachers. It’s a nice school and honestly Exept for a select few has a lot of really amazing people.
