Overall the pro's and con's of the school balances out. I strongly disagree with some of the decisions the administration makes. If our kids are missing school for a few days (2-3 days) then why should we withdraw then and re-enroll them? Just so the school can have a great attendance? On the other hand the teachers are wonderful. I believe this school can have more family events (carnivals, talent shows, dances, etc.) so the community gets involved. Let's not even get started with what the district plans to do with the remodeling of the school. Why should we have a remade school and everyone else gets a brand new one. Where are our taxes for this school going?

The school is great ,however, the school does not have a PRE-K program.The PTA would be better if there was more parental involvement.There is going to be a new campus built by 2006 school year so it will be good ... A New Building in addition to the old one which is going to have modifications.The teachers are super! The administartion however, needs improvment!
