School Reviews
| 5 This is a awesome school. All the teachers are great and caring towards the students. You are in a public school, but it's like a private school. They have a track team and do soar awards for the children who do well during the school year. They have PE, Music, Art and other fun specials. If you choice this school you will not regret it. - Posted by Parent - tweet |
