Just ok. NOT a 10/10...definitely bias amongst, teachers, admin & families (sadly). Traffic at drop off & pick up is horrendous. If you are "local" & your family roots have been here for generations...this may be a good school for you. But if you are moving into the area, BEWARE, it is difficult to EVER fit in at this clicky school. We got tired of feeling like the odd ones out. So, we moved or child to a different school.

This is a solid public school in the neighborhood.

Does not cater to smart kids--teaches for Core standardized testing. Some teachers go above that, but the principal does not seem to be encouraging it.

3.0 parent

Teaches to the middle, and bullying not checked--not from lack of effort, just unable to control it.
