I appreciate the one on one the teachers display toward the children. I think the classrooms are very organized and they make the most out of our children's day! My son's teachers are very compassionate and enjoy teaching! I am happy we are at this elementary school. The only drawback is that the classrooms are becoming overcrowded and I think the teacher's are becoming more pressed for time, which may become a strain on some of the above good points.

Ms. Sherbesman taught my 2nd grader this past year. She has the patience of an angel. She has been in constant contact with me due my daughter starting school 3 months late due to surgery. The teachers, parents, and staff in interested in each individual school. The principal does same work as he expects of his staff and takes time for parents, nothing like the Christian School I sending her to at $2,000/year. They are VERY protective over the children. I wouldn't send her to any other school!

I love the way the student get the same teacher for 2 years. That way they are not starting over every year getting to know a new teacher and the teacher getting to know them. They have the same teacher in 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and 5th and 6th. Great idea!

The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
