Mis dos hijos han asistido a esta escuela. Nos mudamos hace unos años a este distrito, y fue lo mejor, la escuela da la oportunidad de aprender 2 idiomas (inglés y español). Lo cual es un extra para la formación de los niños. Los maestros son muy buenos y casi siempre tienen la mejor actitud para resolver cualquier problema. Les dejan la tarea necesaria para practicar lo visto en la escuela. Casi todos los maestros y administradores son bilingües. Es una gran escuela!

Worst daycare ever! This is not a school . If you want free daycare send your children here, and if you are looking for helpful, caring, and friendly staff in a school that provides an actual education PLEASE DO NOT SEND your children here!

homework is meant to reinforce what kids learn in school at home, teachers at this school don't overload the kids with homework, and always offer help to the students and the parents wherever they need it.

Every single teacher I have encountered at this school cares so deeply about their students and go above and beyond to give the kids a quality education, while helping give kids tools to deal with their peers and personal growth.

There is a strong community here that leads by example for the kids and shows them how to have a strong character.

The leadership at this school is amazing, they do their very best to get the kids what they need and really carve out the time for each family and whatever academic needs they have.

They will do whatever is within their power to get your child what he/she needs wether it be through an IEP OR 504 Plan. They really take the time to listen to any of your concerns and always leave the line of communication open for any future changes.

Any time there is bullying its put out immediately. They will work with both sides to solve the situation.

My child has gone here since Transitional Kindergarten and is graduating 5th grade this year. Everybody at this school is passionate about education and the well being of the kids. You really can't find a better community for your child to start their educational journey.

Teachers and principal are committed to students. Scores are lower but are improving each year. Good environment for kids to shine and build character. Would definitely recommend!
