Please Please Please do not send your child here. They do not have qualified teachers teaching our children. The Principal and all the administrators are useless. My child didntdo anything but color. Principal admitted that there are problems but said she could not do anything to fix them now.....WOW. I was blown away. Choice your child to another school for a quality education. I would not even give this school 1 star.
