The lack of communication and respect for staff and teachers is lacking. The positive effort and dedication we put forth is met with no appreciation and we are chided with negative feedback and criticism rather than given support, encouragement and respect.

My kindergartner has been at this school since the fall and is making huge strides in self-control, academics, and enjoyment of group activities. The teacher is accessible and loving with the children, the staff is great and they all know our names. The teaching methods are standard but they put a large emphasis on relationships, which really helps the kids center. There are aspects of the overall curriculum that are innovative, like daily music classes and weekly dance. The classrooms are calm and the kids understand that they are there to work. My main gripe is with the transportation system, which relies on the city school district and leaves my 6 year old sitting on a bus for 1-2 hours at times. My other gripe is that they don't get enough exercise when the weather is really cold. They really encourage parent involvement, though not all parents are able to be very involved. I am very happy with this school.

My son and I love this school, the teachers are caring and the administrators really care about the children. The diverse curriculum is great and when my son comes home everyday, I ask him how his day was and he says; 'Awesome'. Can't complain about that!

I love this school! There is an amazing sense of family and community the minute you walk in the door. The teachers are WONDERFUL! The vibe is strong and the teacher student ratio is extremely small. Would not be anywhere else.

I used to love this school but between the principal, the lack of parental respect and the lack of real school environment has change my mind and opinion about this school. Some of the teachers are out of touch with the children. There is a lack of togetherness.

Economics, comparative religion, engineering, music, second language, LOTS of physical education, differentiated curriculum. And this is elementary school! What more could you ask for? This is a great school.
