Excellent school. Outstanding administration, teachers, staff . The community is dedicated to the schools and parents are very involved. The children are fully engaged in the school. Award winning programs, competitive athletics, excellent arts. ESPN sports teams of the decade headed up by the girls and boys cross country/track. Award winning Science Olympiad teams in middle and high school that win regionals, states and go to nationals each year. Impressive number of activities. Kids have to be told that it is time to go home-because they are so involved in various activities.
