Couldn't ask for more! I am the parent of 1 graduate, 1 8th grader, and 1 about to enter a year from now. The teachers are top notch and genuinely care. We feel fortunate to have had the tremendous luck of being zoned for a school that something special going on. I haven't had a lot of interaction with the administration - but each and every teacher we have come across has impressed us 'beyond'. Close Quote
