Posted December 5, 2005

At first I had reservations about this school just because Deep Rock and Harmony seem to get all the attention in our local media (newspaper). But after my daughter attending for 3 years I have found the teacher to be very dedicated to the success of their students. Overall the atmosphere is welcoming and geared toward learning. Would like to see more parent involvement. We are happy with the curriculum, teachers, and principal here.
