What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, January 9, 2010

I have 2 kids in school there. Mr. Price is an excellent principal and leader, and he has the help of a very supportive community. The teachers are all great, and there is very little turnover. Parent volunteerism and fundraising is above average. It's hard to get in unless you live in the neighborhood, and the neighborhood's kind of pricey, but it's very family friendly. Close Quote
