My son arrived at this school without knowing a word of English, he was very well supported and welcomed, and now, after 3 years there, I realize how this school and its professionals are shaping him into a good citizen. The attention he receives exceeds expectations. He loves the school and especially Mr. Grube.

This school is amazing all the kids are nice and one time when I had a shadow day I was putting on my sneakers and they were leaving to go to art and I didn’t know where it was and then this boy in my class waited for me so then he could show me where to go. They have a small cafeteria but I get it there’s 1 class of every grade! It’s so nice to see that me and other kids in that school are learning about god. This school is NOT HORRIBLE.
