06-07 School year was the first and last year my daughter attended this school. This was a bad fit for us.

I give the school a perfect 10! Dr. Boston shows a great example of leadership. Each and every staff member is a very fine example of higher learning. I know as a parent of 4 children that attend this school that were on the road of excellences. GREAT JOB!!
