As a child I went to this school, now as a parent my children go here. The teachers here have always been effective and willing to help the children in their classroom. Given the current state of our country (COVID-19), I find that the teachers are accommodating and doing their absolute best. I’ve loved this school and I’ve loved the teachers, the principals and the rest of the staff. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better school to send my children.

Most of the workers involved with education do not meet the individual needs of each child. They only do the minimum and do not go above and beyond for your child nor do they have the interest of improving in any important aspect. The special educational program is disappointing and do not have any helpful resources to assist the students' needs. I expressed my concerns to the members and was shunned for being outspoken and my feedback was not considered.

Everyone is nice, understanding, and is on the same page. When my son 1st started school in 1st grade here he was disruptive, had tantrums, and so on. He's in 3rd grade now and he is amazing now and respectful but doesn't mean he still struggles sometimes. You can tell a big difference and I am impressed. Their always finding ways to improve with the school on so many levels and get better each year.

My son is on the autistic scale and has other sensory issues. We didn't know what to look for in a school and lucked out to get an awesome one. He attended kindergarten here and not only grew but thrived. The teacher was awesome. He had a 1on1 helper, a speech & occupational therapist they were all so amazing. They were great at getting families/parents involved in various activities and kept you up to date on your child's' progress.

This school has a large percent of low-income students and it's not uncommon for them to not reach the state's guidelines.
