Reviewed:

My son was at this school from 2nd grade through 5th grade and then returned for 8th grade because it was changed from a k-5 school to a k-8th school. If you are a stay at home Mom, work part-time or can take time off whenever you wish to help with activities and events at the school you and your child may fit in. If you don't then you won't fit in and neither will your child. There is a lot of favoritism and it shows, the same students and families are chosen every time there is an event or show. They have some great teachers but unfortunately they don't get very good grades. It is a very small school so they don't have the ability to have a lot of the sports programs that bigger schools have. It is an old school originally built in 1929 with additions added in the 1960's due to fire.
