I love my daughter's kindergarten teacher. We have only been there a half year, but she is great with communication and support. The right at a school program there is so great. All three of the women that work for them are amazing kind humans.

There are a handful of outstanding teachers. The leadership at this school is unprofessional and the programs suffer for it. The principal is focused on testing but the school scores don't reflect her singular focus.
