The school has very good academic programs. Yes! this school has a balance and ratio of children problem....Some of the staff are top notch , But some of the staff is there for the ride and think that the kids should do their work for them!! these staff members are not cut out to teach this grade level....

I really love this school academically speaking. The only problem I have had with this school is the balance and ratio of the children, 2 years in a row neither of my children had 1 sengle peer in their classrooms to relate to. The staff and programs available at this school are top notch.
