What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, August 17, 2011

The school is in decline. After many years of solid leadership, the new principal is incompetent. There are some good teachers which hold the school together but overall the staff is very unprofessional. If you are thinking of enrolling your child be sure to visit the school. One trip to the school office will convince you to look at another school. Close Quote
