I absolutely love this school. From the students they produce to the teachers and staff. The staff works very hard to meet the needs of all students. They actively pursue extracurricular activities and community events for families.

I asked if he could ride the bus since other kids in the same apartment complex ride the bus there and they told me no because "i was out of the districts boundaries" even though other students rode the bus to this school....Would rate this school in the negative if I could.
