Great teachers, French Immersion at no additional cost makes this school a gem.

My son is in kindergarten - family life has been very difficult this year and the teachers, administration and guidance have been absolutely outstanding.

One of the very few public schools where they have Montessori and French Immersion as two options with traditional school. Great teachers, good and involved Parents association.

Strong community and parent doesn't get enough voice with the school system. More needs to be communicated to the parents.

Abundant and varied learning activities, Technology and creativity are explored in meaningful and practical ways. Students are exposed to electronic media and apply its uses to the world around them. The French Immersion program is a fully rigorous program and ingrains students with the understanding to achieve the highest standards of learning.

This school is wonderful, the teachers and administrators are involved and parent participation is expected and that's great. They offer traditional, Montessori and French Immersion. Class size is an issue in all schools but the town continues to vote the money asked for to keep the schools top notch. I wish I had a school like this as a child.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
