The 7th grade teachers are wonderful so far. I wasn't crazy about some of the 6th grade ones last year, but it's impossible to have all perfect staff. This school is perfect for social and athletic children, but it all comes together when your child gets a GREAT teacher. The new Mandarin program is awesome and very much appreciated. This gives our kids a leg up in future job opportunities.
