As there have been less kids coming into the town, there has been less money going into the schools and more consolidation and less focus on learning and creativity but this school really gets it. The teachers and the principal are all fantastic, the kids are well-behaved and eager and intelligent and bright and encouraged to speak up for themselves, and the parents are working class, as opposed to a bunch of hovering helicopter Karen's that will drive you crazy. My kid couldn't be happier going there, they do poetry and art to go along with her academics and the kids are actually nice to each other. What a blessing Have a beautiful day, God bless you, and pay it forward

This isn't just a neighborhood elementary school any more. Parents drive from all over the valley so their kids can attend here. Thus, the parking is a NIGHTMARE! (over 400 children attending)

This school has exceeded mine. The school has not only taught me children academics but more importantly provides an opportunity to be taught how to be a good person with integrity in this world. My now adult child looks you in the eyes, he truly listens when spoken to, and he listens to his intuition; I have no doubt that he will be an outstanding citizen of this challenging world. If you can get in on the long waitlist and you are someone who is looking for more than just a school but a community I recommend this school without hesitation.

She has ADHD and her first grade teacher could not handle her in an appropriate way so she would just yell and embarrass her and make her sit outside. This teacher didn't follow the 504 plan and the school lied about accommodations not being made. My child was terrified of her. One time she was made to sit outside of her classroom and was afraid to ask her teacher anything. She was left out there for so long she ended up having an accident but was too afraid and embarrassed to say anything. This school is all about showing off and putting on a good front but their lack of caring or honesty shows their true colors.

And you'll get some red powder stuck to the bottom of your shoes for a short while after running on these kinds of tracks, so if you really really don't want that, I wouldn't wear them here.
