ebbanuelos: We absolutely love this school... and i have had 3 go thru here, with the first one just graduating. It is a MAGNET, which means that about half the kids are bussed so playdates can sometimes be a challenge, and only about a third of the graduates go on to the same middle school. That aside, we have had an extremely good experience w/ the loving and creative staff and incredible faculty. It is a great old-fashioned small grade school with LOTS of parent involvement and kids who really love attending. Plus great test scores. Ours have gone on to middle school with confidence.
