This school is very diverse which I think is a good thing. There is rigor in the classrooms and teachers work with the families to support the students. They have fun activities for families such as movie night, math night, back to school carnivals. I believe out of the all of the elementary schools in Capital, this is the best one. If you are unsure about sending your children here, I would call and ask for a tour. Try it!
