Wonderful staff, very friendly and welcoming to all. Certain staff members, however, seem to have short patience which is detrimental when working with young children. Also, having children clean the lunch tables is fine, having them handle bleach is not.

We have a great experience with the school. The teachers are great with our kids, we always receive the positive feedback and the aria of opportunities and growth. One of my girls finds school easy and I always let the teacher know that she can be challenged.

My child, a third grader, comes home in tears nearly daily. It is not a very friendly school. I have emailed the pr...
