The principal is good at hiding the mess, interferes with everything negatively and really doesn't seem to care for the children's education. There might be just a couple of good teachers there and you are lucky if your child gets in that classroom.
As an Educator, I value the importance of my students and their educational needs and services. It is disappointing to point out the kind of administrations and there lack of care or concern for our students and teachers. Terrible job done by the Principal herself and the VP himself. They are concerned about themselves and safe harboring the school to make themselves look good. The principal is terrible at communicating and getting a hold of. I would not send my child at the school based on administration. Terrible.
The teachers are dedicated and meticulous. The homework given is excellent standard and our son can do it by himself based on the training in the school. School follows up on attendance of the student. Parents-Teacher meeting is very detailed and they go through patiently with parents. Teachers even respond immediately for questions on emails. We hope our son can be in the same school. (Heard they are moving certain communities from this to other school due to over enrollment.)
Excellent teachers with sound educational practices. My daughter is in 2nd Grade and is enjoying her classwork and homework. She loves the teachers in school and after care.
Excellent teachers with sound educational practices. My son has been exposed to higher level math and comprehension skills. Bravo!
My daughter is moving to 3rd Grade this year. She has had three successful years in this school and always had the best teachers. The school cares about its pupils and encourages them to do well in both academics and extra-curricular activities. During the school year, the school has science fairs, plays,etc. The G&T program participates in National League contests and conducts many projects. PTA is very strong. However, I personally think more parents should get involved not just to raise money for the school but also to raise questions and get answers. My husband and I are satisfied with the school but prefer more challenging homework for our daughter.
The administration and teachers at this school are very enthusiastic and involved. There are several extra curricular events (Science night, etc) that are excellent ways for parents to get involved in their child's learning. It is a beautiful building. There are two vice principals which makes them more accessible and allows them to work more closely with the students and get to know everyone better.
