This is an outstanding school with a strong, progressive curriculum. My husband and I enjoy the small school feel, everyone knows your kids and is pulling for them. Our children are progressive thinkers and crave the advanced curriculum. Most poor reviews are due to the lack of understanding the lottery system for the school. Parents that aren't selected are very disappointed. Our neighbors tried 3 times before their oldest daughter was accepted.Keep trying to get accepted it is worth it.
