Good, small school - diverse student body in spite of its smallness, too. Discipline is enforced (at least in the younger grades; I can't speak for the older ones yet) and standards are reasonable. Love that they require uniforms! So far, teachers have been great - they really seem to know my daughter's strengths and weaknesses as an individual and while I'd like her to be a little more challenged, I feel like she is learning and has emerged a very strong reader. Principal is very caring and communicates with parents well. For the younger grades at least, this is a good local alternative to overcrowded public schools with myriad discipline issues. I feel like this school upholds my family's values.
