Has one community based event a year but no real effort to collaborate with community, families or each other. Principal cares more about scores than student engagement, or well being. He’s only focused on his own bottom line but couldn’t even name more than a handful of students or be aware / involved. Teachers seem to work really hard but the extra burden increases the turnover rate at this school. Causing coworkers to constantly be strangers and that environment is evident in lack of collaboration in the community and even be harmful as students move to higher grades.

I went to this school for 2nd grade till 3rd. I had the most amazing teachers ever. They listened to me and were always very sweet. This school has an amazing program in which they help the students learn about, the arts of Drama, Dance and Art. Your children will have a great time, while learning at the same time. I don't go here anymore, but in my opinion, it has no room to improve no more. This school has a great quality. You won't regret taking your child here. It's an amazing place.

I love this school. The new principal gets everyone including the parents involved. The teachers take the time to help every student. The school goes out of it's way to make sure that everyone feels welcomed there. They have different programs that challenge the students natural abilities. They offer many extracurricular activities for the children. They school keeps the parents well informed. They have a great dance, and drama program. They are one of the few schools left with the arts still a part of the curriculum. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I just can not say enough about this school.
