Everybody seems friendly, but there is nothing the school offers to help students who are behind as a parent you need to search elsewhere for additional help.

School is very good at informing parents of upcoming events and important events. Not great at dealing with bullying

This school has so much to offer, the teachers always go the extra mile. My child always has great things to say when she comes home. It is a safe and fun learning enviroment, she explodes with excitement when she's telling me about her day and what she learned!!! Definitely Recommend!!
