My 3 kids have been in this school since Kindergarten and the eldest is preparing to leave in 6th grade. There is a great community of teachers and parents that has supported this school through the transitions from a wonderful principal to a controversial one, and now the search for another new principal. The inclusion of kids with special needs has been great for our kids who now think nothing of hanging out with people that have learning disabilities. There is also a good racial mix of kids at the school which was important to us. In the midst of all this diversity our concern was that we would miss out on academic rigor but having toured other schools for the transition to 7th grade are seeing this wasn't the case. The success of this school is really a testament to the excellent teachers and administrators who have kept the school on course. My hope is the school will be able to retain the 6th grade which has been a delightful year for our eldest, but they need to be able to offer viable choices for kids transitioning to middle school.
