This is an awesome school. As a child who has gone to this school for 7 years, I can say I was always excited for a new day. The teachers are superb and the students are also really welcoming and nice. Also, we always learn a lot in a hands-on, fun way. This keeps us from getting bored. Also, there are great Summer Programs, After-School Programs, Electives, Clubs, and Sports. Finally, there is a sense of community and students aren't scared to ask their teachers for help.
