This school is totally awesome!! There are so much fun things. My class teacher is Mrs. Brady, and she is just awesome and always there for all our help. Her way of teaching is way cool while playing a fun learning game and never even realize you are studying!! I just love my school.

School teaches to the middle. Nothing for your students if they are behind or above grade average. In general, staff puts little extra effort into keeping kids engaged and advancing students at every academic level. The exception are the few Master Teachers at the school.
