My daughter has flourished since attending this school, 2nd grade, after leaving a local charter school, K-1st. She doesn't seem as drained or stressed out. The teacher has great communication so far and her principal has an open door policy.

I love this school!! We are moving shortly and I hate the thought of leaving this amazing school. Teachers and staff are all great, I have yet to meet an individual I wouldn't invite to dinner.
