My two grand-daughters attended this school and we all loved it. The teachers went all out to help the students learn. The activies that include the whole family are great. A great learning experience.

I just found out that my daughter has been in the math intervention class for 1.5 years & the school NEVER informed me. My daughter is the one that told me. AND she scored in the average range on the CRCT's every year so I'm not sure why she is in the class with the "inclusion" this year. This school answers to no one & doesn't iform parents of anything.
