Execellent school and curriculm! I am very pleased with my children's accomplishments, and they love the school! The principal tries hard and does and excellent job overseeing the classes and is very much 'hands on' with the classes and the children, sometimes even filling in for absent teachers. The programs the children put on several times a year under the directon of the principal are broadway material. As a growing and maturing school theey are doing a great job with our future. Keep up the good work.......... Did I mention my children are on a reading level far beyong their current grade level?

The school curriculm is excellent. The teacher's are excellent but they do not stay on staff very long. The prinicpal tries very hard, but could use more leadership skills. Excellent school, if you prefer very strict discipline for your child.

This school now goes to the 6th grade. There have been many changes. The first five years the school was exceptional, however many changes have taken place. They can't seem to obtain good teachers who have a burden for the children. The principal is newley appointed and requires more training in being an administrator.
