My son had an outstanding foundation here with creme of the crop teachers. In First grade, he had Ms. Ragsdale,2nd Ms. Gil 3rd, and 4th Ms. Gray...Without a good foundation, a child will be lost as they continue to upper grades...The principal at the new school was Dr. Gunther who was great...I could go to the classroom at any time and observe...Plus it was very convenient because I live in the neighborhood.....It's a great school as I understand it until this day.....Excellent school...All the teachers were great...I recommend this school however if I didn't like it I would have transferred him...He was with the first group of children that went to the school when first built.......Thank You to all the teachers.
