Overall, there are some minor details but a great school.
5 2/14/2015
I really like this school and the teachers , but I think the process of dropping the kids up in the morning has become very overwhelming and very unsafe . To have over 40 cars try to park in the small parking lot at 8 am because you don't want them going though the drop off area is very unsafe and just a mess.
