We feel as long as the current principal is around we feel absolutely confident that the school would be a great school. If that changes then we may have to review our opinion.

I absolutely love the staff at this school. The leaders have a passion and drive for learning and compassion for students growth processes. Mrs. Do, first grade teacher is incredible! Mrs. D. Nguyen is an amazing teacher! Mrs. M. Nguyen is fabulous! These three teachers are kind and supportive, help the students think critically, and are passionate about what they do. The two principals, former principal I. Chadda, was super involved and caring. Current principal, Mrs. Sugimora is kind, a great leader, knowledgeable, and builds a community of support between the parents, staff, and students. The front desk receptionist know parents by name, are super friendly and helpful. No school is perfect, but this school has outstanding character, a unique supportive community, and students who work cooperatively together. I highly recommend this school with the current staff and leadership.

This is our first year in this school and I fell in love with the environment, integrity, values, events, and academic approach this school has to offer. I am ethusiastic to see my sons grow in this environment and I will make sure I will be involved in every step of the way.

It is disorganized, from parking to school events, and even just getting regular information to parents. There are a lot of ridiculous rules that hinder children from being children, i.e. no talking at lunch, no climbing on the playground. School seems very focused on test scores and not individual learning.
