One of the greatest elementary schools in the nation, it gives excellent resources and opportunities to children to seek their employment and learn about their careers

Think again about this school. There are better choices.

Great school! 2 of my kids go to this school. Very supportive and friendly teachers, principal and staff. I have had nothing but great experience with the school so far.

This school caters well to the 80, not the 20. The outlier struggle.

Just average. If your child tends to be easy going and a typical learner this school might be fine, but generally speaking it is not an encouraging environment. Also there is poor communication with parents and only 30 minutes total of parent/teacher conference for the entire year. The students spend LOTS of time spent on ipads. There is little creative or free time. If your child is sensitive or learns a little differently, this is not the place for them. The kids take tests constantly (3-4 times per week) with little to show for it except high stress. Also, the teachers are in a lot of meetings and miss a significant amount of classroom time. My guess is that the teachers are great but they have to adhere to the D96 protocol which we find to be rigid, out-dated and stress inducing.
