Rachel: We have a staff and faculty who genuinely cares about our students. The school is kept impeccably clean and the children seem genuinely happy. We have an active PTA that supports the students and teachers. Of course we've felt recent budget cuts, but they have done a great job alleviateing that with good teaching practices and a super attitude.
