We are so happy with this school. Teachers and staff are very responsive, they have a great music program, lots of clubs, and my kids are happy. It's a big school, but somehow the staff knows everyone's name.

Extensive parental involvement. School will not provide additional reinforcement of concepts without "getting paid as tutors". School was fine for my son who could get As with his eyes closed and half asleep, but getting any help for my daughter has been fruitless.
