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.

It is a great school and my kids (ages 3 and 6) love their classroom and teacher Jill McCann. The only down fall is they do not have a good parking or drop off system in place.

I am very impressed by the staff at school. I feel like the principal and teachers never get enough credit. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the students.

I liked the friday assemblies where we one upped ourselves for getting an average of 19 on the ACTs and outdoing the other GRPS highschools. Geez, actually that sounds pretty crummy. If the aliens hadn't replaced Mr. Patrick halfway through the year with a lifeless android I don't know what I would have done for entertainment.

Excellent experience with the teachers and principal. The staff really care about the students. They care about parents' concerns, too.

If I could give a negative stars, I would. Ms. Reed is a horrible principal for the middle and high school. All she focuses on is the elementary school. AVOID this school at all costs!!!! It is not worth the headache or heartache.

Although I love the community feel of the school and there is a lot of diversity, I've had close to 0 communication from the school (it's almost May). The only time I get information from the school or class is when I request information in writing. LOOP program is great, but bullying seems rampant...
