Great school !! We are very satisfied. Our child always gets ample opportunities to explore and progress in all aspects. The school has been successful in striking an appropriate balance between Academic and Co-Curricular activities.

My kids were in this school last year. The teachers were fine but it was the parents who caused so many problems. Many of the parents kept asking the teachers to add more homework. Hellooooo....??? It's 1st grade!!!! And also felt like some parents looked down on the teachers. They worked at some fancy schmancy place which I guess made them look down on the teaching profession as a whole. And it was hard to make friends with these parents. They asked questions like it was some interview - where I worked, what did I or my husband do for work, etc... Chill people! There are a lot of good things about this school but seems like this small group of parents love to try to bully everyone around.

Egregious racism and sexism at this school. My daughter feels unsafe and unsupported at this school and at this point in the year it’s very clear what kind of environment the school creates. Her friends have had similar experiences of facing discrimination and harassment from students, and they have been largely dismissed when they talked to the administrators about it. It’s clear there is a “proud boys” club that undermines the safety of minority students. The few teachers I’ve talked to are visibly unhappy, I’m not sure if the looming strike is affecting the atmosphere but I know that the school has had problems for the past few years my daughter has been there. I’m thinking of transferring her to another school district but I don’t want her to be far from home. It’s been a difficult year for our family and the fact that I can trust the adults at her school is beyond disheartening.
