This is a great place for students to learn and be challenge every day. The staff is courteous and students are always happy to participate in school's every day activities as well as extracurricular activities such as science club, drama club, reading night, math night and science night.

Great school, the principal was very helpful and understanding with my sons anxiety and school phobia. Provided him with special needs accommodations (504) and the teachers are excellent. This school is great with academics and is still very fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this school to anyone. The Talented and Gifted Education at this school was very impressive for my child. This school is great with security and safety of the students. The teachers are nice and programs are offered throughout the year for military families and dyslexic children. It has specials such as Physical Education and Music. Overall A "Great School"

My children went here for a few months. If you don't have a child with Special needs, this is an excellent school. The school is very strict about security. You can't take a younger child into your older child's class for a party(Christmas, Valentines, etc. ) you must show i.d. to pick up your children. The principal was horrible, but he's retiring.

I have 2 children that attend this school. This is there second year here. The teachers for the most part are wonderful. They actually challenge the kids and give extra time to the those that seem to be struggling. As far as the school and mangement there, I feel as though some of their policies are over the top. I also feel as though they are a lil too anal when it comes to the disciplne of the children.

I have not been incrediably impressed with this school. I have to admit that the administrative staff appear to be friendly and helpful, however, as read in other previously posted reviews, I do not feel that the teachers are very pleasant/friendly toward the children. From what I have seen the teaching staff appear to have unrealistic expectations as far as the childrens behavior is concerned in relationship to their age. I have much older children that up until late high school were kept in private schools. I think I will make arrangements next year to do the same with the youngest.

I love this school. My son is in Pre-K this year and is learning so many things! I think the office staff and teachers are wonderful and they all seem to know my son. That's probably b/c he's a friendly chatterbox, but every faculty member I have met has been wonderful and are always praising my son. They seem to be a very loving school and my son couldn't have had a better teacher than the one he has for his first year of school!

Admin. is Horrible ; just because it is a school on a military base does not make the children mini soldiers ; they need to treat these children as just that.... children!

This school was a little intimidating at first but it ended up being a great place. Mr.Moore was a good principal and the staff was always very helpful. This is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone.

Mr. Moore, the principal, is NOT a nice man, nor is he very kid friendly. You can tell he is putting on an act. I have heard and seen how he talks to some of his staff, I feel sorry for them. He is kinder to some children and their parents and not as kind to others. Overall the school is okay if you can get past him. Some really good teacher have left.....makes you wonder why???????
