We have experienced really great teachers, with one exception. The current principal is actively engaged with the students to help ensure a positive experience. The school playground is unsafe and inadequate. It is considered a play space for K-2. The older students use the township park across the street, which is also inadequate for the number of students who visit it at a time. The school nurse has been challenging to work with. On the positive side, most of my children's experiences have been good. You will find extremely caring teachers here.

The teachers and staff at this school really show how much they care about these kids. The whole district is outstanding.I have another kid in the middle school. I love the fact that if your kids grades are slipping they will send over a quick email with suggestions. They have all the proper tools for success. The have a powerschool program that keeps you up to date with their grades.I am more than happy with this school district.

The Teachers and Principal all know the students names and are very involved. You can tell they truly love children and it shows when my kids come home from school or when they are simply playing with others on the playground. The small school in a quiet neighborhood is just what we wanted with a focus on the children and their educations rather than their social status. The teachers are very committed and seem to be involved in and out of school. Math is a focus for our family and I've seen very positive results with the system the school implemented this year. Very beautiful new school with amazing computers in and out of the classrooms.
