Teachers do not have empathy for students, which is needed for children. They are ver judgmental!

The worst, most difficult, frustrating, and depressing experience I've ever had in my child's education.

This is a great elementary school with great teachers and concerned parents for the most part.

I think a 10 rating for this school is too high. Although an outstanding school and I am glad that my children have such a wonderful school to attend, it is not the perfect school. Because it is located in a higher income neighborhood, the school does not qualify for Title 1 services. The school facilitates to children who are high achievers and quick learners, which is great, however, children who struggle with learning and need extra assistance will not receive the extra help they need. Kindergarten classes are the only classrooms with a full time aid. The majority of the teachers are fabulous~ there are a handful of teachers that I wouldn't recommend. I also feel there is a lack of teacher communication to the parents. I didn't find out my child was well below grade level until late Spring, which is a little late to find that out. I will say, the principal is outstanding and the staff friendly. The school has a positive environment. I would rate it at an 8.
