I went there for 1st 2nd and 3rd grade and I'm now in 7th and i ALWAYS remember the awesome times I had while I was at that school I think it should have a WAY better rating than what it has. I know not all the teachers' aren't perfect but that shouldn't matter if you are having fun whilst learning! The only bad thing that I can say about that elementary school is that they once missed a few lice in my hair but then they corrected themselves. Either way, this school is SUCH a good school, if you are reading this I hope you consider sending you or your child here or even recommend it to a friend! Close Quote
