Thursday, June 18, 2009

I switched my daughter from a private school to this school in 4th grade. I was very pleased with what I found. The teachers went out of their way to help her and make her feel welcome. She was behind but they quickly had her caught up. Her fifth grade year there was a great one with a fantastic home room teacher who believes in hands on learning. Overall I was very satisfied with the experience. The prinicpal is very involved and on top of things. The only problem I found was that they could use more room and a gym. Close Quote
