I have had all my kids in this school my oldest being 16 and let me tell you if you want your kids to be bullied this is the school for you. I just pulled my 6 year old out of this school and my 10 year old this year due to nothing but problems I have told them multiple times about the other kids bullying and they don’t handle it then when your kid stands up for them self they are the problem! I would give no stars I do not recommend this school. I put them in this school thinking it was a good school in a decent area and I was so wrong. I now pay out of pocket for my kids to go to a different school and my kids are excelling and never had a call once they don’t tolerate bullying at the new school everyone treats everyone with respect! Also the office workers are a joke always gossiping and they are all rude! The only decent one is the nurse that works there. This school has caused nothing but stress and a nightmare beware!

Wonderful, teachers and staff are helpful. Any school is only as good as you make it. Mrs Candido can only do what APS rules allow her to do, if your child is a bad kid and you aren’t helping change that at HOME, she can’t possibly change it in the short time they have the student at school.

I use to love this school, I honestly would have never been able to say anything bad about this school until the last few years when the new female principal took over she is a joke. You can not have a conversation with her with out her being rude and defensive. I don't feel as if she is there for the kids at all. They should have never brought her into the school she has brought this school way down

I have had my children there for two years and I’ve had a horrible experience this second year. I will be transferring my kids to a different school next year. There is no parent support and the principal does not stop the teachers from being bullied themselves. I have received apologies from the board of education, principal and the superintendent, but there has been no change or progress in a positive direction. Instead, the principal announced more rules and disciplined the kids who were being harassed and humiliated in front of their classmates.

Experience was awful. Our son has special needs and was bullied and the principal was on instant defense mode and said bullying can only occur if its happened multiple times and did not have a care in the world about it and responded with "it's the last day, what do you expect that I am going to do". Real classy. Do not send your children to this school.
