The teachers and administration are completely vested in the kids. My three children are so different from each other and yet they all get exactly what they need on an individual basis. The school has a very close and inclusive community. They have had only 3 principals in 30 years and has been and is A+ rated. I love it. Close Quote

We have been very pleased with our experience at Laguna. Dr. Root does a great job of running things. It is a warm and caring community of parents and teachers. Of course public in an evironment of budget cuts, but the override passed and evident the community cares for a strong education for our kids. The school is very safe and the teachers are accessible.
