This is a good school. my only contention is that there is a clear advantage for the kids whose parents are highly involved, and this seems a little unfair to me as a parent. If you want your child to excel academically and socially be prepared to be a super volunteer. another small complaint is that there are a fair amount of teachers whose kids are also students, and this just increases the tight-knit community. but the quality of the education is very good and there are some outstanding teachers.

With our child in second grade, I feel my review can finally be of some use to others. So far, we have had extraordinary teachers who are so dedicated that it is an inspiration. The classroom order is tremendous, and the students are motivated to work for themselves, their peers and the teacher in a very healthy way. As noted, parent involvement is very high, which creates great group cohesion. I am looking forward to the rest of our school experience as a part of a community that wants all kids to do well.

I went there for three years as a child, and loved it there. And now my son gets to go. :D I love how they really work with the children there.

This has proven to be a pretty decent school. Teachers are good and the parents are very, very involved. Regarding a previous post: There is a new principal now, and he is very hands-on and focused on the kids.

Beginning in Kindergarten, children are instructed in computer skills, music and P.E. weekly. These classes are taught by specialists in the field. In the primary grades the children learn how to put together a PowerPoint presentation and later work on laptops. This is a wonderful school in a close-knit community of two-parent homes. Most families have one parent at home at least part time. Parent voluntarism at the school is almost to the point of ridiculous! I'm a former teacher and the amount of parent hovering and involvement would have driven me crazy as a teacher. However, it makes for a stable group of kids, for the most part. The school hosts a district program for severely emotionally disturbed children on campus, called the Brite Program. These kids are mainstreamed in classrooms and on the playground, with additional supervision.

Great school, especially for primary elementary education. Very strong in reading. Community support is huge here. PTA is very strong, lots of volunteers. Principal tends to side with staff instead of parents.
