Terrible! This school never takes responsibility for anything they do wrong. If you get to school on time but there is a delay with them getting students out of the cars they make you sign your kid in late. The parents holding up the line get by while the ones stuck waiting behind them get penalized. If you have any concerns or problems expect no help because they will always blame the parent or the child. I do like most of the teachers though.
