Avocado is a diverse school that values community. The open space concept allows the students and staff to build relationships that wouldn't necessarily be formed in a typical school. We love it!

We made a district transfer to this school because we heard our home school wasn't very good. I am beyond happy with Avocado. The staff and parents are very involved. The principal, Mr. Himaka clearly loves his job but takes it seriously as well. He has the students best interests at heart. It's not always about this test scores. It's about teaching children to be leaders and peace builders. Teaching them different ways to use their minds. Wonderful school.

Awesome first year. Mrs DeVos was the best teacher ever. Great students and staff. All around great experience.

Both of my daughters attend Avocado, and we have had wonderful experiences in each grade level over the last five years. The principal, Mr. Himaka, is a strong leader, and the teachers and staff are friendly and caring. The academics include a nice balance of traditional curriculum along with art and music. The open-space atmosphere fosters a culture of respect and collaboration, and the morning Run Club is a great way to encourage healthy habits. We transferred from a neighboring district specifically for this school and couldn't ask for a better experience!
