i ust to go to this school and i think this is the best school ever


Posted February 27, 2006

Science lab is fantastic. Teachers plan together so that the whole grade level has similar experiences. It is unlikely that you will find a teacher that you do not like here. Each grade level has a bilingual teacher. The school has great resources available for kids.

This is a school where they have a heart for their students. The teachers are giving all they can to help the children. When a child needs extra attention this is possible in this school, either it's with problems or ahead of learning. My child says this is te best school he has been to.
