The worst part about this school is likely the lack of funding that we receive. For around 3 to 4 months, the girls bathroom only had 2 working stalls in a bathroom where there should have been 4. The best part about this school is definitely the community. Everyone is really close, even if you're grades apart. It's like a huge family.

There are only 56 students per grade, now there are more female than male students per grade usually. Teachers come and go after only 1 or 2 years teaching at this school.

My Daughter is currently going to University Lab School and is far ahead of her many friends that are going to other schools in her same grade. The classes are very hands on and really help to develop and nurture the children learning process.
