Editorial review summary
Parent feedback highlights a strong, tight-knit community with excellent communication through weekly 'Friday Blasts' and active parent involvement. The Early French Immersion program is highly praised and often a primary draw for families, though it requires navigating the district's strict, phased online registration process. Parents appreciate the diverse after-school enrichment programs (such as STEM, coding, and yoga) and the school's focus on inclusive education, including newly funded sensory rooms. However, some parents express concern over the lower academic rankings and standardized test scores.
