What people are saying

by a citizen
Friday, June 2, 2017

Some of the staff and administration are not just unfriendly, they are downright snooty to members of the community who visit their campus for such events like Grandparent's Day, Fruit Parade, Mother's Day, etc. They, also, provide very little positive support to the students to encourage them to attain a high level of academics. There is no A/B honor roll in grades K-2. If the student does not make the "all A" honor roll for the entire year, they receive no achievement award even if their overall average for the year in all subjects is an A. This school could do much more to encourage the students to do well in academics than it currently does. The GT program is more like an exclusive club than a program which recognizes talents in young children. Close Quote
