As a volunteer, I see first hand the classroom routine. The students are learning from the moment they step into the classroom. They learn to follow daily instructions, be kind to their fellow students and experience their learning with great interest. The teacher I work with is never idle always working to benefit her class, both academically , emotionally and creatively. This school is great. The staff is always helpful. The environment is very clean and conducive for learning. The neighborhood seems safe and well kept. I definitely recommend this school. Principal / Vice-principal are excellent at their job. I love this school. It has been a great experience.

Our son had a great experience in Kindergarten last year. The teachers and staff are warm and attentive and genuinely care about the well-being of their students. The principal is forward thinking and has great vision for the school. This is a great close knit community and neighborhood and The school reflects that. If you are looking to move to this neighborhood I highly recommend touring this school. The negative reviews on this site are old and not a reflection of the school today.
