School Reviews
5 8/2/2019
All 4 of my children have attended this school. The curriculum is great and the teachers are very determined to ensure each student leaves their class with the necessary tools they need for the next grade. They take education very seriously. The school's uniform policy should be better enforced as some do not wear the uniform at all. The open concept of the school allows children to sharpen their ability to focus on classwork vs what's happening beyond the class point. My husband and I have been happy with this school since enrolling our oldest child 10 years ago. That is quite the accomplishment!

As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
