In my 5 years of going to school here, I've never met kinder teachers, students, and staff. All the buildings were clean and well-maintained, and colorful and vibrant. Every student had a great chance to succeed in this school, whether in art, P.E., or academics. I miss this school a lot and it's the best I could ask for!
