Great school, we had a few issues last year but nothing that we were not able to work out with the school administration.

I am a student here, and I love it. The teachers are wonderful and the environment is great! The music program is wonderful too!! There are so many things to do there and you still learn a ton of stuff along the way!

It took 3 weeks to get an appointment to enroll my child. There is not enough staff to meet the demands of the children or its just laziness. Instead of promoting my child's education there were pointless meetings required to even make any positive changes. This isn't good. Not all people are stable enough to keep calm during the pointless meetings(to insult the incompetent teacher) which are required to change teachers. If it does not promote education it should not be required!
