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.

es una escuela q se preocupa mucho por los alumnos pero les exigen demasiado en el aspecto del aprendizaje, mas con los chikitines de k nder y de primer ano, yo digo q no les deben exijir todo ala vez, como por ejemplo les ensenan la ABC y quieren q al mismo tiempo se ensenen a leer

This school only cares about test scores. It pushes kids to the point to breaking. Teachers try to make things fun but it doesn't really work. Principal is very rude. Dont send your kids here! They do not want parents in the building.
