Friday, March 29, 2019

I'm so pleased with the academic, social, and behavioral environment of this school. Students are engaged and there are many school activities that embrace fun and learning. My son is in the Elem Prek school and is being taught and prepared early in reading and math. As a parent I enjoy PAC, the Parent Action Committee and having a healthy school community of parents and educators. Tier 1 and I know this school will remain a strong hidden treasure. Close Quote
