Open Quote I have three children who attended this school. My oldest was a student there from kindergarten to third grade. The only reason we left the school was because we were relocated during a job change. I can always find something to criticize, but I haven't a bad word to say about our experience there. The teachers and staff were always responsive to questions or concerns, and I was always amazed on what the kids were learning and doing. The way children are taught today is a far cry from the classes I attended, and at first I was skeptical. However, I was willing to give the new curriculum a chance since they are trained educators. When my 2nd grader began finishing chapter books in a day, I was impressed. The facilities are second to none. The related arts classes are a wonderful introduction to art and music. Every teacher I have worked with has been committed to the kids' success. The staff are always around the school and knew my kids by name. My only regret was that we couldn't take the school with us when we moved. Close Quote

Open Quote I attended here from first to fifth grade and I didn't learn many essential things like spelling or how to have good handwriting. I didn't like the the teachers much either. Close Quote
