I can tell the teachers and office staff love working at this school!!! They greet every child in the morning and know everyone’s name. Their excitement is contagious for the students! My child tested in the high percentiles and was a grade level ahead by mid year. Teachers really work hard to keep students meeting educational goals, and especially loved the extra curricular teacher involvement. My child can now draw very well and knows how to sing so many songs thanks to her art and music teachers.

This school is beyond amazing. I have 2 boys that are 5 yrs apart and both attended back from prek on. The teachers are amazing, for the most part. (There is always that one teacher). The pta is very active and communication with parents is outstanding. Both my boys were and are very successful in the class room. My youngest has a disability and the school does an amazing job working with him and keeping me informed. Hands down the best elementary school.

My second grader came from a private school. She has been able to be pushed even more than she was at her previous school. The teachers are very caring about all students in the school. The administrators are out every morning and afternoon for drop-off and dismissal.
