My daughter has been in this school since kindergarten and the only complaint I have is that it doesn't go to 8th grade and I wish it did! This was the best experience with a school I've ever had. The principal, assistant principal, all staff and the kids are AMAZING! Every school should take something from their book because they are doing it right! Close Quote
