Overall a great school. My only negative comment is the lack of diversity. I feel like it's important for our children to experience diversity. Otherwise, I feel like this school is a wonderful place with staff who generally care for their students.

Great Principal and staff! I have met the principal and several of the teachers. Each of them have been extremely kind every time I have visited the school. I have also been very impressed by witnessing their interaction with the children as well as by how well behaved the kids were when I was there...
