The departure of former principal resulted in many of the best teacher leaving this school. Nonetheless, the new principal is even better than the former one and many fine teachers stayed on. I expect this school will continue to excel. In addition to the principal, the art and music teachers are top-notch. My only real complaint is two of the 5th grade teachers (unfortunately my daughter had both of them). Ask local parents and they will tell you who to avoid.

Wonderful school. It hasn't been open for very long but it has definitely shown that it is an exceptional school. The principal is outstanding and cares about each and every student-even knows all of them by name! Both my kids have attended this school and both love it. Lots of parental involvement and great educational structure-especially reading for Kindergarten-2nd grade. I am really impressed!
