Maybe a good school for regular children, but not very good for special needs children. The support system is lacking. Emphasis on paper work and signatures seems to take precedence over actually supportive assistance for the child.

With the importance of a high quality education growing exponentially with the times this school offers a beautiful balance between arts and education. With P.E., music, and library time worked into the regular curriculum it is proving to give my children the well rounded education they deserve. The time that the faculty and staff put into making everything run smoothly shows in every aspect of the day to day functions, from pick-up and drop-off lines to speed and accuracy of call direction when I have a question, I am blown away by their commitment to excellence.

I must say that I was impressed by the school tour, which was planned and staged, obiviously. Once, my child started school it was a different story. Kindergarten Year should have been so promising. Instead, It was met with grumpy staff, teachers that facebook and gossip too much, & not welcoming at all once your child is in the door. And when I approach a teacher with a concern, it was never taken serious. Often, these two teachers would boldly talk about you closely enough for you to hear. I really thought school was about academics. I guess not. I have never seen so many fake people in my life. I really feel sad for the minority children there. They are not treated as favorites and all the black teachers are asst. teachers. Really think there should be more caring and diverse teachers involved.

OG primary has a few excellent teachers, however overall the teachers seem to be less than enthusiastic about their jobs. It's so sad. Even the office staff seems to be grumpy. I cried the first month of Kindergarten because I wanted my child to ENJOY school and every day all I ever heard about was what RULES she learned. The days are so rushed in order to get all of the curriculum in that the children sometimes don't even have time to complete their work before they are herded to the next station. I'm sure the rushed days are due to an extreme over population issue. WAY too many kids in each tiny classroom. THere's no room to breathe let alone do any activities or even allow them to stand and move during any classroom song time. It's pretty much an awful school. But like I said before, there are a few wonderful teachers. I'm glad to know my child will not be attending there any longer.

My oldest son went there and my youngest son is in Kindergarten there now. Love the school and love, love, love the teachers!

The school staff is very nice. I think the teachers are very good. My biggest issue with the school is the student teacher ratio. My child has 24 students in her class. I don't feel that the students get the personal attention and causes them to fall behind. Concerned Parent
