My children started K and 2nd grade this year. I have personally found the curriculm extremely challenging for their grades and I think the teachers are outstanding. The staff I've met and interacted with have all been approachable and very nice and responsive. Close Quote

The school is all about test scores and not about the actual education of its students. The difficulty of the curriculum has been reduced and the subject matter is whatever seems to be politically correct. The teachers range from excellent to non caring, or even bullies of some students. If I could afford private school I would switch in a heartbeat. Close Quote
