3/23/2015
This is the first year that the administration seems to be a non-entity at the school. There seems to be very little leadership; kids are wearing non-uniform shoes and pants and very little is done. Seems to a degree that some of the kids can do whatever they want and there are no repercussions.
3/16/2015
It was amazing last year and years before that, but we got a new principal who made everything different and is not strict enough.

We have many things but not as much as other schools.

I appreciate that it's a K-8 and small student population, which seems to keep it a close-knit community. Our daughter is in 6th and son i...

This school is terrible, would not reccomend.
3/28/2025
High test scores are the focus. Teachers quit frequently. They have to offer free tutoring after school for students to keep up. Large chunk of grades comes from spending time in front of a screen practicing math or reading on apps. Doing required number of lessons on the apps too fast means your gr...
