Since Dr. Zaks joined as principal in 2022, the school has been amazing for my child, who has special education needs. The teachers are great, as is the entire administration. There is plenty of family involvement and a very active PTA. The school provides a nurturing and supportive environment where students feel valued and encouraged to succeed.

Not always safe, there is bulling and as a parent my daughter complained in middle school about bullying. The principal asked to have empathy for the bullies - there parents being out of the country - they were foreign exchange. Of course, I did not have empathy for those mean girls.While the last headmistress who es a nun was great, the current one is mercenary and only looking for star power (Katie Ledecky).I am mbkvalent. Class size was fine. Curriculum fine. An art teacher in middle school was absolutely useless.
