Please rethink about moving your child into this school distict. My son had 2 great teachers in the 6 years he was there. The others seemed to have no clue on how to treat children. They had college degrees, but seem to know nothing about children. My son forgot to put a date on his homework and was made to stand outside at recess, along the wall, with a book, in 20 degree weather. That is just one horror story, there were many more over the years. Needless to say, we no longer live in that district.

excellent school, kindergarten teacher leaves very much to be desired but the rest of the teaching staff is great. Also avoid the secretary in the office. The principal has an open door policy and is very very approachable. The PTA is awesome they work very hard to raise money for the school and the children.

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.
