Pauline English: This is an excellent school. The teachers are caring and work very hard to make sure every child is learning at or above level. I live in an apartment nearby and will not relocate in fear that my daughter will have to leave this school. We are staying here until she is finished!! Bullying is not tolerated and there is an amazing security team. I highly recommend this school.
