(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - One of my best memories is the day I turned in my son's application to the office. The principal came out and introduced herself and invited me to contact her directly with any questions. This was quite a different reception than I got at other schools, where the staff looked at me like I didn't belong there bothering them. I love the diversity of the student body. There is a true sense of community and inclusion. My son is only in 1st grade, but the upper grade students already know him and his classmates. The strong academics are supplemented with instruction in music, art and sports. There's a new field, science lab, computer lab and awesome library. Before
