I think both the elementary and middle/high school are full of great staff members and students who are taught to be kind and respectful to everyone along with a strong focus on academics. What bothers me is the amount of negativity one hears from parents and members of the community about the people working in these schools. I would suggest visiting the schools & seeing for yourself what they are REALLY like. To the staff at both schools-congratulations on your hard work and effort. Those of us who truly care about our kids see your dedication and love for them. Close Quote

This school is wonderful! It tailors it's education to each individual student. I have a daughter in 3rd grade who is doing 5th grade math & 7th grade reading and in the gifted & talented program (where she is learning some Mandarin Chinese). I have another daughter in 1st grade where she is currently reading on a 2nd grade level. The school has programs in place to ensure that your child is getting the best education for them. I have NO COMPLAINTS about this school! It has a new principal, who is wonderful and understands what the kids really need and how they should act! She is wonderful! If I could I would give this school 10 stars!! Close Quote
