School Reviews

5   5/1/2007
The facility is old, and in much need of improvement. Water and heating seems to be an issue. The principal is a fantastic leader. There is a pleasant and caring atmosphere within the school. Parents are encouraged to be involved and there is a variety of ways to do that.
