"The staff is so bad here. The front office is an unhappy bunch and my child has been going here for 2 years. Now, my child education is great here. But the staff, teachers included should practice what they teach."

"Most teachers here are excellent. Of course every school has a few that are notorious yellers or are apathetic, but given the union protections out there, I don't think you can fault the school or principal for that. We have had 4 teachers and every one of them has been great. To address other reviewers concerns...the parking lot is run as organized as one can expect given the various drop off and pick up times at the school. Again, I don't think I have heard of a local school that doesn't have parking lot issues. As for the principal's commitment to timeliness, yes she is, but would one expect any less? Should we not be wanting to teach our kids the value of being on time? The assembly doors are held ONLY to show respect for the pledge of allegiance and reopened for latecomers. There is a new office manager this year who goes out of her way to help parents. I have seen office staff at restaurant nights supporting the school. It is unfortunate that the bad experiences of a few taint the conceptions of many and scare off good families that could bring so much to the school. This is a school with an innovative approach to teaching state standards through real life applications!"

"My Son is in Kindergarten. He has a teacher that means well and has plenty of experience. Her practices are old school and she has a bland personality. The Principle also clearly means well but she is completely and utterly overwhelmed. The kids are missing out on so much. I look forward to not being at this school next year."

"My son is a special needs student at this school and his new teacher in RSP is terrific. I disagree with the other parent that says no one cares about special needs students. At least that's not true with his teacher. She comes to his after school activities, listens to his social problems and finds way to make his day great everyday. Without her my son would not be able to be mainstreamed. I appreciate her every day. She was named Teacher of the Year this year. I am not sure how this is voted on but she would get my vote too! I'm not sure if I can name her on this website but everyone who goes to the school would know who she is. I want to say thank you to her for helping special students find a place in her heart and school."

"My 1st son goes to this preschool and we love Mrs. Scinico, the teacher, so much. My son is really a hard one to handle but she and her assistant sure have A LOT of patience with him and the other handful kids. He know how to read, write his name and manners in his very early age. We are so thankful with this school, their teachers and staff."
