What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, August 3, 2015

The kind of school where every child is expected and guided to succeed. Dedicated and enthusiastic teachers, renovated building, plenty of technology in classrooms. All that with a strongly diversified group of kids and families (economic, social and ethnic mix). No sense of entitlement here, which plagues more affluent school districts in neighboring towns. The balanced calendar is great for knowledge retention and for cheep vacations (lol). There is no gifted program, but if your child needs to be brought up to standards, plenty of resources are available (social worker, speech therapy, etc). Close Quote
