The environment at this school is ridiculous. I have never been around children that act like these kids act. There parents' personalities really shine through in the children. The children and parents act very snobby and unfriendly. It is hard for new kids to make friends in this type of environment. The teachers and administration is also very unwelcoming. There is not even a PTO committee. There test scores are unacceptable! I transferred my child to a nearby school so that he may grow mentally, socially, academically, and individually.
