The school building has been around for a long time and could use improvement. The cafeteria could use an upgrade to accommodate more students as the population continues to grow. The playground needs to have more green space, but should also accommodate cars when there are big school events.

My children have attended this school for several years and I have been an active parent here. The administration is great and willing to listen to concerns. There is not enough time to do everything that needs to be done. Only a handful of parents are active at this school, but the number is growing. Parents should be required to help out at their child's school in one way or another.
