They are going to get the job done by getting your child to learn and to read…it’s the culture that is the problem. There is no diversity. It’s a Vineyard Vines commercial and some of the parents are a nightmare (entitled). The teachers engage in way too much gossip and at times have been described...

Our daughter started kindergarten this year and we have really loved her learning. Her teachers are very dedicated to the children's learning, they use many learning methods that make learning fun. Always in contact with the parents, really very satisfied.

Absolutely disappointing, they will pass your child on to the next grade without ensuring that the child actually understands the material. Unfair grading rubric, and the teachers pick favorites. The children are not given the help they need and they are afraid to ask questions.

LOOK FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL. The staff is not capable of helping student succeed. They will start pointing fingers and causing more problems than coming up with a solution to help the student.
