Students grades for this school are inconsistent. Teachers for "out of class" classes do not give feedback or reasons for their grades. (P.E., Music, Computer, etc.) The primary teachers do make themselves available for parent communication which is good. Though I have never had the opportunity to meet with the principal every time I have gone to the school the Principal's parking space is empty leading me to believe that the Principal is hardly ever on site. Unless the Principal does not drive to school I find this strange.

This is a great school with a lot of heart. Good teacher and staff retention, low student-teacher ratio, a school librarian, full-time PE for all the kids, an active PTA and a feeling of home. A small school with a lot of heart that nurtures the potential in all of its students.
