I absolutely love this school, my daughters have always had amazing teachers, amazing principal very involved. Office staff is very nice and friendly. My kids really enjoyed the school plays, variety shows they put together and movie/snow nights. I feel a lot of parent involvement here so that really helps.

No issues ever, there is unity between the Principal and all the staff, and always working together for the well being of all the students, I love this school

This is a great school very clean with many creative art classes, and the teachers are wonderful. My son went there for four years and loved it. Mr Waybrant, the principal is the very best principal in the school district. Every single day he is on campus looking out for the children and making sure they are safe. He protects the school because he cares about the children. When I went to him with a problem that my child had he listened attentively and made sure our problem had been solved. He is a blessing for all of the children.

The principal at this school is scary- beware. My kid signed up for art and wanted art (this is an art school) and didn't get it until the very end of the year and then only saw the art teacher about 7 times. XX loved art but only got to make two things and then it was over. When we went back this year she was gone and replaced with the one they had before that isn't that good. There are a few really good teachers here but for a so called art school - don't expect much.

The school itself is very clean and layed out well, they have many great teachers, but I have a big issue with the principal Mr. Waybrant. In all of the years my kids went to that school. Mr. Waybrant said hello to me a total of 5 times. If my husband was with me, Mr. Waybrant always said hi to him. I am not alone in this, I spoke to a few mothers who felt the same way. Mr. Waybrant seems to have an issue with women. :-(

This school is great 5 yrs. ago my Daughter started Kindergarten, she was scared and very insecure her very first teacher who was and is so nice, lovely and patient gave her the confidence and strength she need it, through the years all her teachers have been well prepared, the principal has done a good job choosing his staff The only thing I dislike about it are other parents who think it's only the teachers job to educate children and their lousy job with their kids but you will find that kind of parents every were
