Best elementary school on the Westside, hands down! Great families, wonderful teachers and a fantastic new principal.

All around excellent school. Teachers are at every level superb. Students and parents very involved. All the students feel engaged in the school. It has the feel of a private school without all the inherent problems of most privates. The teachers here are far more experienced than at the privates we checked out. And the fund raising, though aggressive (where isn't it nowadays?) is not off the hook as it is at the privates. We feel very lucky to have gotten into this school on the lottery system. Many families try.

Thanks to a vigorous and strong Parent board the school survives despite the immaturity and poor judgement of the Principal. Teachers are dedicated equally to all of the children regardless of the child's skill level, truly no one is left behind academically or socially. Differential methodology in the classroom creates targeted learning opportunities. Excellent teachers, working under a grossly substandard Principal/Manager who does not hold herself accountable and is frankly quite alienating and unwelcoming.

I have child in the second grade. Support staff and the rest of the faculty are masterful, warm, accessible and all obsessed with nurturing kids into being life long learners. Terrific Music program, Art program and Computer Lab.
