Excellent school. love it.
3 3/3/2020
Excellent instruction Math,Reading and creative arts but very heavy homework and unsure of current administration that may not be as seems. Principal inclination is to suspend vs counsel — even kindergarteners— not at their behavior expectations. Maturity & autonomy and excellent behavior expected from even youngest children despite very long days. Heard principal, who mostly seems very nice and sympathetically, yelling repeatedly at young kids during 10 minutes quiet time required at lunch one day and talking in office about student behavior in front of the student (and others in office) waiting for their parent. If your child generally behaves very well/emotionally mature, can manage lots of homework, and can sit still for long periods of day, go for it. Great instruction, caring teachers, small school feeling, interesting extra programs.
