I loved this school SO MUCH that I stayed here from 2016 up until 2020 I was so sad when I figured out we were moving I now live in North Carolina I would go back to this school in a heartbeat. The teachers are amazing and so sweet and the teachers have strong connections with the students they make sure everyone feels welcome.
