My child has been coming here since Kindergarten and now in the second grade, they are really into helping your child learn no matter what their academic weakness are.

Horrible School!!! The teachers are not very attentive, and do not provide the best education possible for the students. So many eager to learn with no school support!! Avoid moving to this area because this school will leave your children significantly behind!!!

My school is filled with hundreds of young learners eager to learn something new everyday!! I love that my school has most of the up to date technology but would love to be able to utilize it more!! Teachers are in desperate need of equipment training!!! Please help us get the things we need so our learners can shoot through the stars!!!

I love this school too! It exceeded my highest expectations. My child has attended for 2 years and I haven't met a single teacher or administrator that I wasn't completely impressed with. The principal is amazing, she is so caring and involved. The building is older but well cared for and clean and the level of technology available to the children is wonderful. There's even a sweet little garden in one of the inner courtyards that the kids helped to plant and maintain. Our other child attended a private school through grade school and I can honestly say that I'm just as happy with this school. Altogether a wonderful, welcoming environment.

I love this school. My son has ADHD and is unmediated and his K teachers were soooo understanding and helped him learn to cope with his problems instead of him getting into trouble. His 1st grade teacher so far this year seems understanding as well. I went there when I was a kid and there have been alot of changes since then and they have all been for the better

I will retire from this school and I am far from retirement age. The new administration is very warm and welcoming to students. The principal was a former primary teacher and absolute LOVES all the children. She puts the best interest of the child above what would be the easier path. Incredible curriculum tie-ins and school special events to bring in parent involvement.
