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.

The do a lot to prevent bullying, teach respect for self and others, the nurse is great, they give a lot of info and help on resources for health another programs/resources. There is no need for police presence. But feel they could do slightly more in regards to school safety regarding outsiders accessibility to the school, thus the not perfect scoring I gave.

I love this school but there is always room for improvement. I've been very happy having my kids there and no regrets. Some things are out of their control and don't blame them for district policies I'm not fond of or for the few bad Apple's (kids, parents and teachers). The good there way outshines the bad.
