The school has a great PTA which consist of parents and school staff. The teachers are also incredible to the students. My daughter loves the school which I assume the emotion is share with all the other students.

Ms. Kayam is not fit for Pre-K teacher. She should be teaching 3rd grade and up because she has no patience for the samll children. She expects all pre-schoolers to do what she commands immediately, like training little soldiers. And the principle has no control over her at all. Laura Hui has been great though.

Mrs. Kelly was horrible teacher and now the principal???? I was shocked to hear this horrible teacher was promoted to principal. She was abusive to my child, picking on my child constantly. She chooses favorites and allows the children to pick on other children and does nothing. For someone as overweight as she is shouldnt allow the fat kids to be picked on. Horrible principal ... I am so glad my child made it thru in one piece. (after much therapy)

Some good teachers (science and history) - mixed bag in terms of classroom teachers; they run the full spectrum. I agree that the administration (principal) is unconcerned (we took our issue to superintndent) but others (assitant principal) are quite good!

This is very family friendly school. Your child is being recognized by many workers. That is why school is very safe. The principal and parent coordinator respond to the needs of child or any parents requests in timely and professional manner. It feels like a big family.

The children come first. Learning is a priority without the drama of politics. They are very involved with the community and the environment. They get the families involved.

My son is in the G&T program. Their teacher not only provides special nourishment for the curious mind, but also for the spirit of the kids. 'I don't prepare them for the exams. I prepare them for life.' said the teacher. Bravo!
