We have a wonderful new principal and assistant principal this year. The PTO is wonderful and it's very easy to get involved and be a part of your child's education. The teacher's are great. I haven't heard anything bad about even one of them. The entire staff, including custodians and cafe workers get along well too. It's a friendly and well put together school. My son has been there 2 years and he loves it!
