Open Quote Our schools statewide rankings reflect poor test scores due to a high percentage of esl students who naturally struggle with English tests.
Our teachers and staff are wonderful, caring people. Our students are kind and hard-working and genuine.
I feel safe, heard, and comfortable in this close community. Close Quote
