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.

Love this school. Since leaving elementary school my child now enjoys going to school. Her grades have improved tremendously and she is just all around a happier child. The teachers are great and if a parent needs to speak to a teacger the school makes it very easy to access a line of communication with the teacher. They also have many systems and apps in place for parents to see what their child is doing during the day and how they are doing scholasticly. As a parent i am much happier and my child is much happier.

It is honestly disappointing to see such behavior from school administra...
