Open Quote Although a large school, it has a great community fostered by the PTO and administration. All of my children's teachers have been fabulous and caring, instilling a wondrous sense of learning in my kids. The Spanish immersion program is the only one of its kind in the County school system.

I wish there were more parent support, but that is not a reflection on the school. The school teachers and administrators are passionate and involved and do great things with the resources they have. Close Quote
