Smart, educated teachers, a principal who is involved and cares about the students. A full-time nurse on site. They have plays, fine arts, sports, and daily fitness.

Our family loved the Pre-school program! I the ratio is 10 students to 1 teacher! The whole year we were there we never were to capacity always about 20-22 kids (3-5 yr olds). Which meant that the ratio was smaller. They group the kids according to their abilities, how they will be chalenged. The kids have a great computer lab IN class, painting, coloring, craft area, puzzles, puppets, circle time, recess, snack time, math time, and much more.

Pre-k program has way too many kids in one group. 30 3-5yr.old's in one class!! Crazy!! The class is messy and unkept and the teacher's seem burned out or inexperienced.

Love the teachers and staff! The principal, however has poor leadership skills and has little to no communication skills. With the right leadership this school will grow by leaps and bounds.

Love this school! 5th grade teachers go the extra distance to teach!!! Safety and security measures are top notch and the best I have ever seen! Extracurricular activities are great for each grade level and right on! This school should have a 10!

Our children have been attending for 3 years and we are not impressed. As a parent the staff makes it very uncomfortable for us and everything has to be 'politically correct' with no warmth.

Principal Cole does a fantastic job directing the faculty and motivating his students. Excellent parent-school communication. Outstanding teaching. We're impressed!

I'm a 6th grader at the school who has been attending since preschool. The teachers, librarians, PE coaches are amazing. Although, I always feel just by looking at the principle's face, that he's fustrated and as if we the students are way below his standard. Honestly, I think we are a well behaved school with ups and downs. The enviroment is safe, secure and 'welcoming.' If you're going to enroll your kid(s) here, I totally recomend it. All my teachers have been wonderful since the start. No lie. GATE is fun too! It challenges students, but won't make them crazy (I should know. I'm enrolled in GATE.) LOL
