We''ve been so impressed with this school! The teachers are amazing- the other kids and parents are wonderful and the community is caring, diverse, and such nice people! Very highly recommended school! We have a First grader who started here in kindergarten, despite being one of the youngest in the class, she''s very advanced for her grade (learning multiplication and division, already reading chapter booksvery well, etc) and her teachers are so supportive of what she needs to grow. She has so many wonderful friends and there has been no bullying or disciplinary issues at the school. Truly a well-run place!
