This was a horrible school. Bad teachers bad environment. They do almost nothing against bullying.

My daughter just finished 1st grade in the foreign language immersion program. This is her second year and she is very comfortable here. She loves her teachers and her classmates. The teachers work very hard and the administration and staff are wonderful.
