My kid is in the second grade and doing pretty well at school. His teachers in Kindergarten and First Grade were exceptional and provided a great foundation. The second grade teacher is also good, however the amount of homework are sparse. I think the Principal is trying hard to improve the standard of the school. It would be nice if the school could also introduce some programs for the bright kids

Excellent teachers and staff overall, my daughter loves it there!The principal on the other side, not so much. How is it possible that an elementary school principal doesn't ever communicate with the parents, and the 2 times she has (for major reasons!) she sent out letters with MAJOR grammar/spelling flaws! At least get someone to proof-read it.

I give five stars for the amazing and committed teachers that work with our children every day. I give less than one star for the current principal. She is completely incompetent and has terrible communication skills with the parents. This current principal also let go an outstanding teacher last year for no reason, a loss which was felt by the teachers, students and parents. I give the teachers a lot of credit for dealing with this principal every day. The best move the superintendent could make would be to replace this principal with someone who can do that job efficiently.

This school has a lot of terrific teachers and the secretary is a wonderful woman. This school however does need a stronger leader and one that is capable of making decisions that are best for our children and their safety as well as their education most importantly. This is the only area that needs improvement.

Our daughter attends this school for the second year already. She loves every day she goes there and we are still excited how teachers & the whole team helped her after relocation. They got a new principal this year - energetic woman - we can't imagine how it could get better, but she will definitely find a way how to improve things which are great already.
