School Reviews
| 5 Staff and administration are extremely helpful. They offer many resources such as Special Education teachers, Speech, ESOL, and have an afterschool program. Teachers go the extra mile to help your child if they are struggling. PTA is very involved and participates in activities with the community. The community center and public library attached to the school is an added bonus. - Posted by Parent - steph |
