(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Love this school! My daughter is in 8th and finishing her 3rd year there! The teachers are tremendous in putting personal effort into your child succeeding and doing the best of their ability! The new principal and asst principals are very good in authority and safety of the children. I recommend this school to any parent looking for a school to challenge and guide your child/children!
