My son (now 27) was in the first graduating class. I didn't care much for the Principal at that time. However, the Principal has changed and the new Principal is trying very hard to erase the negativity the first Principal left at the school. My daughter (8) and my other son (7) now attend the school (both in the Scholars program). They enjoy all of the teachers they had and currently have at the school. Parents should seriously consider applying to this combination school (K-8).

I believe that's a great school, with good performances but if they let gossips feed their school they will lose their legacy and integrity. My advice is dont kill the fun of learning for children. They need to stop the spread of gossips.
