'Diverse' is the best adjective for thsi school. How they manage to successfully integrate children of many different backgrounds into a harmonious school environment is impressive. Because there are so many children at this school, they have a well-rounded curriculum. My first grader is having a great experience ther so far, and she has a great teacher.

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.
