If you want your child to go to a friendly school that is demographically representative of the USA, this is your place. They have THE BEST principal and teachers in the county. Beautiful lake in front of the school with an outdoor classroom. Right beside the new public library, coming in 2019.

The focus is on the whole child!!! Ms. Gregory (Newish Principal), Ms. Patterson (K-5), and Ms. Marsico (1st), and Ms. Chirles (counselor), and Caroline (front desk), Mrs. Hale (librarian) are all fantastic!!! Offers school vegetable garden, an amazing outdoor classroom, dance, soccer, tennis, running club, fishing club, and more!!! Brain movement breaks, Fun Run, fun reading nights, some kinesthetic and flexible seating like yoga balls, wobble cushions, etc. My daughter says her teacher makes her class take breathing breaks, which I LOVE!!! I have chatted w many teachers and they LOVE the principal, which makes for happy teachers!—Katherine Keadle

MOST OF THE STAFF IS VERY NICE!! HOWEVER THEY DO NEED TO WORK ON THERE COMUNICATION SKILLS TO THE PARENTS WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENDS TO SOME ONES CHILD. MY SON FELL AT RECESS AND BROKE HIS ARM IN THREE PLACES. THEY SENT HIM TO THE NURSES OFFICE SHE GAVE HIM ICE AND SENT HIM BACK TO CLASS , AND WROTE A NOTE TO HIS TEACHER THAT IF THE SWELLING CONTINUED OR PAIN GOT ANY WORSE TO SEND HIM BACK TO THE NURSES OFFICE MY SON CONFRONTED HIS TEACHER AFTER A LITTLE WHILE AND SAID IT WAS GETTING WORSE CAN HE GO BACK TO THE NURSE SHE DIDNT RESPOND TO HIM JUST TOLD HIM TO GO SIT BACK DOWN IN HIS SEAT. !!! ??? THEN MADE MY SON RIDE THE BUS HOME WITH HIS BROKEN ARM 2 HOURS LATER PAIN WAS WORSE AND HIS ARM WAS REALLY SWOLLEN . THERE WAS A NOTE ON HIS HOME WORK FOLDER THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR AND GET IT CHECKED OUT !! THERE ARE 4 DIFFERANT WAYS THEY COULD HAVE CONTACTED ME FOR TIMES LIKE THIS, THEY COULD REACH ME 24/7 AND I COULD HAVE CAME AND GOT HIM FROM SCHOOL AND TOOK HIM TO THE DOCTOR . BY THE TIME HE WAS ABLE TO BE SEEN THAT DAY BY THE DR. HIS ARM WAS TO SWOLLEN TO PUT A CAST ON IT . IT TOOK 2 DAYS TO GET THE SWELLIING TO GO DOWN THEY GAVE HIM 1/2 HARD 1/2 SOFT CAST TO HOLD HIM TILL THEY SENT US TO A SPECIALIST FOR HIS HARD CAST . AND STILL I DIDNT GET ONE SINGLE PHONE CALL FROM ANY ONE AT THIS SCHOOL , AND IT HASNT BEEN THE FIRST TIME ONE OF MY KIDS WERE HURT THERE AND DIDNT GET CALLED PROBABLY WONT BE THE LAST EITHER :( :( I CANT BELIEVE THE WAY THIS SITUATION WAS HANDLED . AND THIS IS WHERE ARE CHILDREN HAVE TO GO EVERY DAY. VERY SAD
