[quote=Anonymous]My son went to K there last year and we had a fairly good experience. His first teacher wasn't so great, but he got moved mid-way through the year when a new class was added and his new teacher was awesome! 
There were a few downsides for us. First, the school is very overcrowded. They are building an addition now (not sure when it is to be done) which will be good for the future, but only added to he problems now. The overcrowding meant things like a ridiculously late lunchtime where there wasn't enough room for all the kids to sit and not nearly enough capacity to get them through the lunchline in time to eat. No room for time in the gym on rainy days. Another limitation was that while the principal was very good, it felt like all of the resources were going into helping bring kids up to grade level, especially the larger number who don't speak English at home. While this is certainly important to focus on, it felt like there wasn't a lot of time/money for enhancing education for others. Finally, there was A LOT of homework for the kindergarteners. WAY TOO MUCH. 
We moved over the summer for other reasons. Downsides aside, I felt iVM was a good option.
