Es una terrible escuela, es cero exigente, nivel académico terrible, cero armables, algunos de los profesores son terribles, mi hija un día me dijo que un profesor la grito y cuando di el complain me dicen que es que el profesor habla fuerte, mi hija sabe diferenciar un grito, la principal es terrible, además los niños van al teatro a ver una película todos los días mientras esperan su turno para comer, acaso no pueden hacer un horario y que los niños no tenga q ver películas en vez de estudiar.

This school is amazing. My first child started there in 2010. Now hes going to high school. My second one just graduated from there this year and I have 2 more there. I have always wanted to move but I couldn't do it because I dont want to leave this school. That school is my kids second home. The teachers and staff are like family. Always a smile on their faces. Mrs Markham the principle is always on top of everything. She is so kind and loving. She always strives for the students to do their best. Also her assistant principles too and the staff. That's the truth. Love this school.

My son has been attending for the past 4 years. I have loved the education and support my son has received up until this year. The school introduced the common core curriculum without any notice to the parents. How do you help your children when you no longer have any idea of what they are doing? If we don't know that the way they are being taught math has changed,how can we help them? There was no thinking that took place on how our children would handle the new testing standards. as a parent I am very disappointed that we were not informed by the school what was taking place in the classrooms. Children can not excel if they are being taught one way in the class and another way at home. I realize it is not the schools fault that common core standards were rammed down all of our throats but I expected a lot more support with implementing it. Yes I am against common core but will not go on about it. That said, the teachers are still the best and try as hard as they can to help the children but I do realize their hands are tied. I think that parents need to be brought on board in a timely manner to all changes being made involving our children.Updated post: So it appears common core is not going any where and the teachers have really stepped up to teach our children what I thought was impossible. I am against the common core curriculum but that is not their fault. They have really stepped up to teach our children the unteachable....I am blessed to have had my son in this school the past 5 years and will miss the amazing staff when he graduates this year. I am confident he will be ready to take on Middle School.

This school is wonderful. From the helpful staff to the Great teachers. When I first send my kid to Kindergarten, I was concerned on where to place him? However, this school turned out being one the best- actually number one from it's district.. how Incredible! To have a hard working staff near my home makes any parent happy and proud. Totally recommend them if you live near the area.
