I enrolled my daughter to go to this school this fall, and was told that her grade level was full and she would be bussed to another elementary school in the district. That school told me they we nearing their limit for that grade level, and they weren't sure there would be a spot for her. Hello, they are public schools and must accept a child that lives in the district. I found out that this is a constant problem and you must be the first in line to register your child every year to ensure a spot in the school. We ended up buying a home in another district, partly to avoid this mess. There are siblings going to different elementary schools in this district because of Monaco's refusal to accommodate their growing population. There are students who parents pay to get into Monaco, and they have a spot, but my daughter was refused one. I find this so wrong. Money is the bottom line to this school. Not what's best for the child. Registration in a public school should not be a competition. I'm happy that the contract on the house we were purchasing fell through so we don't have to put up with this headache every year.

Love the teachers!!! Overall its a great school! The reasons I rate this school a 3 instead of a 5 is because 1) they have too much homework. 2) the dress code is silly 3)they don't have an art teacher. Pto volunteers come to do an art project 1 time per month and the kids dont have a lot of opportunity for after school clubs or activities.
