My son is going on 3rd grade at this school and has been attending since Kindergarten. Out of the two years that he has been there, there were only two incidents regarding someone picking on my son. I told the principal and it was promptly handled. My son is an A, B student so I have no complaints. Most people only write reviews when they have a bad experience so I wanted to shed light on the good. It's a great school.
