I have two school age children here. We joined the school this year (2025) and have been very pleased. The school goes the extra mile to ensure theyre safe and secure. The teachers and new principal have been wonderful. Strong PTA presence and many school events that we have enjoyed going to. The school funds well for the kids to learn better and it shows.

It is a well-integrated school that is trying very hard in a low income area with less than average monetary resources with some decent level of success.
