Our student population is over 550 and about 40% of our students have a home language other than English. In order to meet our students’ needs we have academic support teachers as well as English Language Development teachers. Beyond academic instruction, we provide rich educational experiences with field trips and performing arts. We have strong school spirit and love having parents participate in school activities with volunteer opportunities in classrooms and on the playground during lunchtime.

Students work at desks in a bright, modern classroom with a teacher.

By providing an intellectual, social, and emotionally rich environment for students, we are proud of our school and our educational pursuits and achievements.
