2 Niche users give it an average review of 4.5 stars.

Featured Review: Parent says Teachers so far have been great! Most teacher seems to teach for a long time, so that is a good sign. I wish there are fully fenced gate around the campus for security.There are not a lot of homework, but I think academics is not too hard or strong. They have PE, art and music classes which is nice. New families can feel lost as there isn't a lot of communication but it was COVID time so it could be related to that. Diversity is quite good in school and not just 90% Asian. The school lunch can improve. There is not a lot of option for non-diary..
