Reviewed by Former Student on February 27, 2010
Rating: (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
I went to this school from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is a wonderful school. The teachers are very helpful and have genuine concern for thier students. The only reason that the school might not of reached advanced on subjects is that many of the student there do not have very good family lives. The teachers and student quickly become family. The administration is the best around.
