We moved here this year. It has been such a relief in comparison to our previous school. So far all of the teachers have been great. Everyone treats my child with respect. A great learning environment.

As a former student from 12 years ago, it seems that homework structure has changed in the sense that some of it is "pre-made". I've seen several with vague instructions along with English errors and I wonder how a student is suppose to interpret them. Another point is that the student to teacher ratio is much larger now. I remember every grade up until 2nd grade were fairly small classes. Also, our current technology should be able to help understand how students are performing in classes and achieve results like those at the top at the nation, yet it seems as though this school is still 15 years behind. The school does have a good community reach and the kindergarten class is outstanding. In general terms though, the school should be doing much better in terms of math, cognitive thinking, and creativity; all of which help as the backbone of understanding complicated tasks done in high school, university, business, engineering, and everywhere else in everyday life. Overall: Good: Friendly staff, great community, and decent curriculum.Bad: Far behind in education and resources that is expected of an elementary school around the nation. Grades 1-3 lacking behind.-Note all the above is broad due to limited space and one should thoroughly research schools before making a decision and assist their child in achieving their success and transitioning into our society.

It’s way too hot in the school, theres mold on all the floors, ect.
