My son attended this school last year for the third grade. I love this school. It is bright and exciting, the teachers and staff look happy to see you, and really seem like the enjoy working there. They truly cared about my son. He received straight A's and was citizen of the month. I would recommend this school to anyone. On the last day of school, he forgot his report card, and his teacher actually came to the house and dropped it off for him. These people really care, and if you have the honor of going to this school, consider yourself lucky.
