I am absolutely blown away by the bad reviews I have read for this school. I have a 5th grader currently attending, and a 8th grader who went there from pre-k thru 5. I can say that I agree with bad reviews prior to Mrs. Cain becoming principle. She has made such great changes to the school. I always brag about this school to everyone! I don't know what I'm going to do since this is the last year that I will be a part of this family. I can see where the parent involvment could be better, but who is really to blame there, the school or us as parents?! Realize that not everyone is meant to be a teacher, there are teachers who do it just for the pay check at the end of the day in every school system. I have been really blessed with having VIF (teachers part of the internation teaching program). I think the way they teach, lead and have discipline in their classroom is such a big differnece from teachers from the states because of where they got their degree and what they expect from their students. I am truely saddened that Ms. Veeras retuned home last year, and that this is Mr. Ferguson's last year. These are 2 exceptional teachers and the school will not be the same without them.

2 years ago, the school was blessed with a new leader. She is the example of great leadership, great support, and most of all definitely puts the children first. Turn over has decreased tremedously and there are many great staff members. Our scores are reflective of the caring and much capable and caring leadership as well as teachers. The teachers here love the children and get the parents involved as much as possible. There is peace, empowerment, and love in the school now! This is a great place to work and to learn.
