Rating 4 out of 5
The school is relatively new and very beautiful inside. The staff and teachers are incredibly caring and kind. The principal really cares about the school and the success of the children. My son has only attended this school for PreK4. While I had low expectations given the school ranking, I have been incredible surprised by the PreK4 program. The PreK4 teachers are top-notch and go above and beyond for their students. They are very caring, always prepared, responsive and easy to reach (email or through school app). My son has started to read and can write his full name and all capital and lower-case letters of the alphabet very legibly. They have art class and are offered the opportunity for playtime indoors or outside. I don't know why more parents zoned for this school do not take advantage of this great PreK program for their children - and it's free! The only reason I cannot give the school 5 stars is that the streets around the school are typically littered with trash.
