My grandson goes to this school and his mother is very happy there. She just loves his teacher. Very good school.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 25, 2008

This is my son's second year at this school and I am very impressed! Both of his teachers in 2nd and 3rd grade have been very involved and not only notify me of the negative things but build him up when he's doing well. The principle and teachers are all very active in helping the students. Great school!
