My daughters are currently attending this school and they really like it. Their teachers have 30+ years of experience teaching. The principal and staff are all very nice. Theyre really trying to improve it.

no home work comes home and the all the teachers and staff speak all Spanish to parents that speak English, If the school has 70 plus students that are learning English then that should be the first language of the school esp. for parents that speak English this is not a second language school (where Spanish is being learned)
