Tuesday, March 8, 2022

This district has undergone an enormous transformation in the past 5 years. The facilities are beautiful, they have a low teacher/student ratio, student growth is above average, teachers have many leadership opportunities and roles and are HAPPY! Don’t let the scores fool you- kids receive a top of the line education at this school. Many kids are first and second generation immigrants which puts them at a disadvantage with standardized tests that are not designed to accurately reflect the knowledge/skills acquisition of these students at this age. Because of it’s diversity, the district offers a uniquely authentic and robust dual language program. This district is a hidden gem. Close Quote
