Overall disappointed in the lack of compassion and communication between staff and family members.

Excellent staff! Just a happy environment! My kids are thriving at this school! Coming from San Diego my kids were way behind, their teacher took extra care of them. The transition was hard but everyone at the school really cared and gave them so much extra help. Wonderful school!

Teachers are over worked and under paid. They are doing the best they can with what they have. Problematic areas get more attention and take away from other kids which turns into some getting away with bad behavior while the others can do no right. Teacher to student ratio is incorrect because one child is 21:1 and the other is 17:1
