Sunday, August 7, 2011

The faculty is exceptional. They are very dedicated to motivating students and bringing out their very best efforts. My child was challenged and it paid off. I would highly recommend this magnet school more than the other so called "elite" schools like South Highlands, eden gardens, and fairfield. This school has a heart like no other and I am so glad we made the choice to come here. Close Quote
