Lisa: I really like the principal, she appears to want nothing but the best for her students and takes great pride in their improvements. I am very happy with my child's 5th grade teacher. She to, has nothing but the best interest in for the kids and wants nothing but them to succeed. This school is a uniform based school which to me is better.
