This is a great school with great parent involvement. Teachers take the time to help the children on many levels. The principals make this school great. More parents need to take the time to meet the teachers and staff and get involved to see what's happens on a daily basis and they will see how well our kids are cared for.

This school is OK. The staff work hard and seem to really want the best for the children. The curriculum is so-so. An advanced or gifted child would probably be bored. I wish this school did a better job communicating with families and encouraging parental involvement.

The administration and teachers really care about the students and work together to help every single student achieve success.

I am disgusted with this school. It does not care about the individual child and only on how the children do as a whole on the DSTP to make the school look better. My son in second grade does not even get spelling tests anymore each week. When I asked for extra math homework I was told they dont have the resources and they dont send it because not all parents help their kids. The kids are not challenged and if they are behind in reading you are betting off going to Sylvan. The title program is a joke. My son will no longer be going there next year and I am afraid to see how far behind he will be next year. Dont bother asking for help, everyone is too busy passing the buck. If you can avoid it dont send your child here. You will be disappointed. I am!!
