My child has excelled at this wonderful and diverse school. The fact that they lock the doors during the day has left us feeling so much safer. The teachers have had great communication and so far we have never had bully issues. My child has a severe food allergy and every teacher and the nurse have taken it seriously and always check. I feel lucky that after 3 years here we still feel so good about the experience. They try very hard here, and they are truly a good school. I think bad reviews may be coming from the parents just not communicating properly. This is a good school in our community.
