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 teachers and students at this school are amazing. The communication could be better, but otherwise it is a great school.

4/10 says it all. Principal is leaving this year (2024) and not sure if this is good or bad. Maybe good because the district sees that a change is needed and replacing or bad where even the principal is removing herself.

The first 5 years were amazing with great leadership. The past 2 years our daughter didn't enjoy as much due to principal.
