The teachers are respectful, thew principal is available when families need and friendly to families even outside of school. The curriculum is excellent. I like the school philosophy as I notice that its applicable day by day, is not only something that is written in a wall or piece of paper. The school is clean and I feel safe when my child is at school.

The school has no handle on bullying issues and they actually contribute to it with their favoring of students/kids of PTO parents, etc. The school doesn't value academic excellence, nor do they award it. They don't care about the culture or environment they are creating- the school has a horrible "it's all about who you know" type situation and political atmosphere which heavily influences the student's experience. My children HATE this school- each day we drive by it and no exaggeration, they talk about how horrible it is and the horrific environment of the behavior and lack of discipline. This is coming from a couple kids who loved school and loved their teachers, and had excellent prior experiences.
