Parents beware if you want your children safe this isn't the school for you! Both my children went there and both had to spend time in the hospital for serious injuries due to the lack of supervision there, and the principal has no problem blaming everyone else, including your child, for her short comings. I don t recommend this school to anyone. This principal does not deserve to be Principal of the Year! She is that good at being fake! The only good thing about this school is that there are some teachers willing to go the extra mile for your children, but there are very few of them.
The principal puts on good show but deep down is unfocused and leads by force of her personality. If your child is a middle kid, he/she will be taught. If your child is doing well or struggling, he/she are secondary in her thinking. She knows how to play the game and is rewarded by a district and public who are being fooled.
My daughter attends Washington and will be entering the 2nd grade. She loves school and looks forward to being there everyday. I especially liked Mrs. Zades (kindergarten teacher). She was so great with my daughter and all the other kids in that classroom. I volunteered in class a couple of times. She is so energetic and treats each child as an individual. Being there and being a college student myself I can say that no matter where our children go to school their teachers need 100% support from us. Washington also provides tons of extracurricular activities during the after school program. Washington receives lots of support from people that care to donate their time and money. Go Dragons!
