Only wanted to say that parking is dreadful and a nightmare. To those parents that want to pick a fight w/​my wife is even much more sad. She gets called into ER to help with a procedure and she’s blocked by some parent cussing at her, when we clearly live there.
Not sure if that person at the hospital made it, but she had to call the cops, wait for police to arrive, but the parent jerked their kid into the car and bolted. She had to call someone else to fulfill her duties at the hospital.
Just remember, you’re on the property, and if you are blocking it, and she’s called for medical emergencies, a cop and tow truck will have to follow suit because, well, let me think about it, whoever shes probably saving might be someone important to YOU!

Love, love, love this school. Free tutoring, free clubs, great events. Happy teachers, low ratios, great resources and equipment for students. Music, art, PE, computers and more. They are constantly improving which is awesome. Well run all around. Two small downsides keep me from giving five stars: the traffic situations at pick up and drop off has been horrendous for years and has improved very little. Mostly this is due to badly behaved parents but there is little enforcement from the school and the steps that have been taken fall short. Secondly, while most of the administrative staff are education angels, there is one office lady that is a nightmare. Why someone like this would ever work with children is beyond me. Rude to children and adults alike. I have repeatedly asked her not to touch my car. She does. During drop off, I have even rolled down the window and yelled that its an automatic door and she still feels the need to try and yank it open. She is rude to my kids and I have overheard her being rude to other children. Once she gave my daughters a tardy slip and told them, in front of me, ‘your mom needs to schedule your appointments after school.’ She is a real life Ms. Umbridge. I have no idea why they continue to allow her at their otherwise stellar school.

So far so good. Friendly and knowledgeable office staff, caring, nurturing and intelligent teachers with good curriculum make this school a good option academically. The cleanliness and diversity make it a much better option than our zoned school.
