Based on the test scores--i would do a 1 month trial FIRST. Based on reviews I would back up that 1 month furthermore. Based on teacher ratio: still would consider 1 month trial. Based on school rating I would downgrade to a 3 week trial.

Couldn't ask for better staff to help and support our children. They truly are amazing considering the wide range of demographics that attend this school.
