by a parent
Saturday, February 2, 2013

My daughter transferred to this school from Middlesex Elementary. There is no comparison in the quality of education she receives . . . paying a fraction of the cost of a private school, she is getting a stellar education. I have read criticisms that the school is overly focused on academic achievement, but personally have seen no evidence of that: the staff and the teachers with whom I have had any contact are kind and supportive. Excellent school! Close Quote
