The school now looks like a youth detention facility. Shame on the new principal for creating barriers that restrict parent and teacher interaction. She created more traffic congestion; which has the opposite effect of making students safer and relieving foot traffic. These barriers make it harder for parents to retrieve their children and restricts access to classrooms if parents need to communicate with their child's teacher. This principal is rapidly creating a closed-door policy as she has a done as a former principal of Holly Oak Elementary years back. Close Quote

Awesome school. They focus on the family with exceptional teachers that really care about each kid that they have.

I could not recommend this school any higher. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
