If you have a child who is advanced proficient in Literacy or Mathematic or both I strongly encourge you to look else where. Their is no Gifted and Talented Program and the school does not offer acceleration to advanced students, although I am told that the other elementry schools in the district do. I have the highest regards towards the teachers, they are professional and excellent in their field.
