Our child loves attending this school. When asked how his day was, he always says he had a great day. The YMCA after school program is great for working parents.

Thus far, my experience here has been nothing but a headache. I've been to a school with such rude teachers, office assistants and such. Being a military family, weve moved around alot and have had to adjust to all types of classroom/school standards, but this school....this place is by fsr the worst. EVER! If I could, Id have my child switched to another school in a heart beat....
