Open Quote The teachers are great. The office staff is questionable and not highly intelligent. They constantly take advisement from parents without authorization to change the child's school records. From changing the custodial parent and emergency pick-ups, and not getting legal authorization from both parents before a child sees the school therapist. Meaning you will always have to keep an eye on things to get them corrected.
So if you are a parent with a split house just know they do not follow legal court documents and will blindly follow any instructions about the well-being of your child Close Quote

Open Quote Wonderful school with fully engaged teachers who are committed to education and also ensuring the kids develop good "people skills." Strong community involvement. Excellent PTA with supportive parents. This school has the kind of principal who will work the cross walk just for fun, or ride the bus route on any given day. He is always in the halls, in the classrooms and on the playground just to have a presence and earn the respect of the kids. The kids look up to him - he is a wonderful influence and fosters high energy in the school. Close Quote
