This school is awesome! The only complaint I have is the facilities. It desperately needs a new building. But other than that, it's a great place with lots of individual attention and caring teachers.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted March 6, 2004

Well im a former student and I loved the school myself. The principal is a great guy, and the teachers are great. Since its a little school its like they're all one big family. I'd hate to attend a school where I didn't know everybody. Everyone at the school knew each other and I believe that is what made my schooling worth it.
—Submitted by a former student
