Great experience from 2015-18 & continuing. Strong teachers & great steam lab, art programs, school plays, extra curricular options, Math kangaroo & other Math competitive exam help etc, Principal very active and hands on and a very active PTO which actively supports and funds many activities. Teachers use good online programs to support Homework as well to give students extra practice.

We have been in the for the last 5 yrs...still kids attending.. Mostly, we have good experience. Some teachers do not do their jobs well when it comes to a child w/ special needs. So, if you have one, depending on services your child might need. Think twice before you enroll. Other than that, lots of after school curriculum, which is awesone. Good luck!!

Sadly, we had high hopes for this school. The academic standards are high, however I cannot say the same for the faculty. Many of the teachers are inconsiderate, brash and uncaring to say the least. When we left messages with our concerns for the principal to return our call to discuss our personal experiences in detail, we never got a return call or email. It amazes me that being polite and professional is simply not a consideration from the top down. Very disturbing and concerning for many of us parents.

The school offers wonderful learning opportunities for students of all abilities and interests. The school is diverse, has great teachers and an awesome parent community. As a parent volunteer, I must also recognize our Principal (Ms Gellman) for her personal efforts in bringing many outside learning opportunities to the school.
