[quote=Anonymous]Both of my kids went there K-5. It is a great school with a very nice community. It is not very racially diverse, but there have always been a good number of families who are with an embassy who bring a bit of cultural diversity. There are also a good number of military families.

I did not find the school to be snooty at all. There were maybe one handful of families I didn’t care for, but everyone was incredibly welcoming.

I love the new principal who has been there the past few years. She is so kind and warm. One of my kids has an IEP and I found the school to be great with inclusion. Every grade has an inclusion classroom that is co-taught with a general Ed and a special Ed teacher. This helped my child get back on grade level and be prepared for middle school.

The auction used to make a lot of money, but honestly, it was a few really wealthy families who paid the big dollars. The items that raised the most money were backyard bbq or taco fiesta type of events that maybe 100 people could buy tickets for at the auction. Those events raised big dollars overall for the auction, but were not crazy expensive for the individuals buying tickets. And they built community with more opportunities to meet parents.

If you have a chance to buy a house, the neighborhoods here are lovely. I enjoy the age diversity and getting to know my older neighbors. I also love Gulf Branch Nature Center for my kids.  [/quote]
