What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, July 28, 2015

We absolutely love this school. My daughter is starting her fourth year here and it is such a fun and caring school. Everyone who works there treats you and your child like one big family. The principal cares so much about the children and lets them do so much fun stuff from talent shows, dances, programs, dress up days, jean days and class parties. It means so much to me that my daughter is excited to go to school. And a huge part of that is because the staff there, the principal, teachers, assistant teachers, office workers, cafeteria ladies, janitors, music teacher, librarian, art teacher, PE teacher, everyone. The curriculum is great as well, it's challenging but they are learning so much. I was worried about Common Core at first and was overwhelmed at the homework that was required every day, but it is actually quite manageable. I do like that they will put your child in the class that best fits their pace. There are advance classes and classes for children who need a little bit more one on one time to get the material. The building itself is also nice, there is a lot of natural light and it is covered in student artwork, I love that. Close Quote
