My son went to this school last year. His 4th grade teacher Ms. Rice on more than one occasion humiliated him in front of his classmates and she would throw childish tantrums rather then disciplining my child in a more professional manner. He was very unhappy there which is why he is going to a different school this year. He is much happier at his new school.

Although this school has an excellent fine arts program the students follow a block schedule which is very confusing. They attend each class an hour and thirty minutes on certain days and forty five minutes on others. Nevertheless it is a great school for children who are interested in fine arts. They can teach children to play an instrument or take classes in ballet.
