We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Arcadia is a excellent school. I feel that environment promotes learning. Every school has its shared of problems, however, the principal is approachable and willing to work with parents to resolve an issue. I am comfortable with that students are safe in such a caring environment.
