I just graduated 5th grade from this school and I love it to death! All the teachers are so supportive and kind to all students. If you are thinking about taking your child or if you are thinking about going to this school, I recommend strongly. The janitors and lunch ladies work hard as well. I give all my love to this school and hope that you do too.
