Parents are very pleased with the teachers and staff that are both caring and nurturing while lending a hand to students that need a bit more attention. Communication between administration and parents is on target with parents being informed of both positive and negative information. The classrooms are small with one teacher for every 20 students which is better than many of the other public schools in the area.
A few parents were a bit concerned during the transitional period in 2005; however, today parents are very pleased with the progression and the achievement of their children. Parents have expressed their gratitude for all classes whether special education or gifted as the school caters to the needs of each student individually.
On the other hand, some parents are not as pleased with the staff or teachers. The staff and administration have been referred to as unqualified and unorganized.
