My children have attended this school for several years and I have been an active parent here. The administration is great and willing to listen to concerns. There is not enough time to do everything that needs to be done. Only a handful of parents are active at this school, but the number is growing. Parents should be required to help out at their child's school in one way or another.

The school is a fine and performing arts school, so the administration allows the students to be creative in their attire as well. There are a few simple rules that must be followed: no mid-drift tops, no halters, nothing distracting, use the handy-dandy hand test for length of outfit.

We are quite involved in the school and it seems other parents and children all seem to have a similar very positive experience. Excellent teachers, great academics with emphasis on the arts, wonderful community, and e...

Our family has been at this school for a couple years and it has gotten from mediocre to being the worst.I find the leadership lacking, the teachers instruction insufficient, the staffing disrespectful, and the organization of this school dysfunctional. I would like to be a more involved parent so I...
