Our kid got a lot of help from this school. Kid was tearful during graduation.

I have two students at this school who are extremely different from each other. They both excel because the teachers, staff, and administration genuinely care about the success of the students. I appreciate the frequent and informative communications between students, teachers, and parents.

The new principal Heather Quinn is confused and doesn't know how to handle her school! She doesn't return calls and emails and notes. Staff members are miserable and my children hate going to school for the first time. I have a 4th grader and a 5th grader.
