My children have been going to this school since my youngest started Kindergarten and shes now going into the 4th grade. The teachers for the most part of have been AMAZING for both kids, however, it seems the office staff get worse and worse every time I have conversation with them (over the phone or face to face). I dont know why they hate their jobs so much, but please move on if the job doesnt fit your personality. Its awful to have to deal with any of them, and I really dont know why they bother answering the phone ever, they refuse to answer any questions, its like your killing them. PS... BRING BACK MRS JAMMER, shes the best teacher I have ever had the pleasure to meet! Close Quote

This year, I'm very happy with the help and concerns for my son and he's academic and individual needs. Having an excelent teacher (Mrs. Ransom) and IEP (Mrs Schmidt) makes a big difference. Both are working together to finds different options to work with my son's issues and needs.
My recommendation, sometimes during school time every school should give an opportunity for parents to comments about their kid's teacher. Because at the end is the teachers good or not enough work that will reflects on the SCHOOL REPUTATION. It's always room to learn from mistakes and do better next time.

I am very disappointed with the school. The teachers teach using centers and when the kids do not finish they make them run laps during recess. That would be fine if they were goofing off, but it is simply for not finishing and the kids are not allowed to ask questions for help because the teachers are working in a different small group or testing other kids. It is a very unfair situation and a poor way for kids to learn and be motivated. Close Quote

My child is in second Grade and every teacher all her teachers have been very attentive, driven her to succeed, and knew her personally not just as another student. All the teacher aids, media teachers, arts, fast forward group, every program helped her excel. They need to work on a more substantial music program but are very active culturally with a week devoted to different countries, and have a balanced physical fitness program. Their office staff is curteous and friendly and careful with each child who comes and goes through their school. Close Quote
