Open Quote This school is fantastic... if you are a Caucasian family with one stay-at home parent. Otherwise, the staff will not respond to emails, you will never be chosen to volunteer or chaperone no matter how many times you sign up to do so, your child will be denied access to the gifted program despite ranking in the 99th percentile on an intelligence test, your child will be referred to by their last name by the school nurse, and threatened with expulsion for "attendance issues" after missing one day of school. Also, if you are Hispanic, the teachers will assume that you must be poor, and cannot afford to be an at home parent. They will actually say this to your face in a parent-teacher conference.

Open Quote The teachers and administration are extremely professional, caring, accommodating and hard working. Both of my boys love their teachers, have made tremendous academic growth and have made great friends. I am very happy with the experiences they have had so far. Close Quote

Open Quote Our daughter has been at this school for 2 years (2nd & 3rd grade) and we have had all positive experiences. The principal and front office staff are over the top friendly and willing to help out with questions, concerns and ideas. The teachers that I have worked with are extremely driven and truly take time to cultivate each child at their academic level. I love the diversity in the classrooms. Many countries are represented in just her classroom alone. This year the class sizes got too large for 3rd grade...but administration stepped in and hired another teacher to ensure kids could get the one on one attention needed. On top of a fantastic school...the community itself is just wonderful. Very active PTA also. Close Quote
