This is a great school with great teachers and students
—Submitted by a parent


Posted May 2, 2006

I highly recommend! I moved into this area three years ago and have just fell in love with the school and the community. The parents are involved in their children's education and extracurricular activities. The school promotes academic excellence and makes every effort to help each child achieve that goal. Their special education programs are fabulous. They really do care about your child, from the principle to the lunch ladies! Each marking period they recognize the children who achieve honors and principles list for their grades. I can tell you that not too many children are left sitting. That really says a lot about a school when most of the children are achieving A's and B's. If a child is not reaching their goals the staff works with that child to help them do their best. The staff enjoys their jobs and it comes through in the kids!
