Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on February 11, 2009
Rating: (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
This is a great community school. The faculty and teachers are very caring and interested in the student progress. They also are busy having family orientated fundraising activites such as their annual carnival; etc. I would highly recommend this school if you would like your child to be exposed to a different culture and appreciate what you can learn from them.
