I highly recommend the school for the following reasons: 1) My three children attended from Kindergarten to 8th grade and their education was so good that they graduated from high school as honor students. 2) My children passed AP classes. 3) They are attending college and their GPA is 3.5 to 4.0. 4) The music, art and the classic programs are of high quality. There is a band and a choir program. 5) The drama department is very good. 6) My children are good young people with high ethics, high morals and strong spiritual life.
