former student: My first grade teacher was Mrs. R and she taught me to believe in myself. I repeated her grade because I had trouble with my reading. When my family moved I had to leave in the 5th grade. I want to go back for 7th grade.

educated parent: School is a safe and students are treated well. The school focuses on academics, while mixing in fun. School leader and assistant take the to talk to you and help with any concerns.

Previous teacher: I taught at this school and it is very lacking in discipline. Could be a great school, but there is very little support from principal for teachers dealing with students who act out consistently. Too bad that the principal's own grandson is constantly in trouble, but is not held accountable for his actions. Letting his actions go only trickles down to the rest of the ill-behaved students.
