Very good school Best teachersMy kid loved going there

Very good schoolOur kid went there for 3 years We can’t complainWe had very good teachersIf your kid wants to learn plus some discipline this is the school to put him to.Bullying? It’s not a middle or high school. Kids are too young for that, they can’t really bully anyone in that age.

I have two kids in the school. They seem to really like it. PTA is really involved. School does nice activities for kids.

It is not a great school. Kids don’t learn much, 5th grade teachers let kids watch movies in the class- for my tax money. Music and gym are good, evenings else is below average.
