(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - As a parent I think this school is great. My kids love this school. My son and daughter who graduated this school love to visit their old teachers who gave them a great start. My youngest child is in the 2nd grade and loves it. Most important I love it. The teachers are the best.
