This school is led by an amazing principal, Mr. Rotosky, and our daughter has had a wonderful first year at Southwest. The dual language program is fantastic, her teacher Ms. Smith was kind and sweet to our little girl, and we are overall very happy with the culture of this school. It is a happy and nurturing place.
