The school has a student body of approximately 350 students—14 regular classrooms of grades kindergarten through six, one special education resource room, one full-time media specialist, one full-time school health nurse, two teacher assistants used in kindergarten and special education, a very supportive principal, and six part-time teachers for band, music, art, guidance, speech and language services, and physical education.
