I was a student there 60 years ago, my children all went there and now my grandsons go there. Students get close attention from the faculty and staff Close Quote

This school is small and intimate and has great potential. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to its Billing. The teachers are there for a paycheck and cant be bothered to go out of there way to help a challenged kid. Its one way of doing things and that's their way. No consideration for the individual childs needs or the parents concerns. After two years I had to take another job to send the kids to private school. School administrators where even worse not even bothering to investigate a situation before making its decisions. My kids really suffered here. Close Quote
