I've worked within school systems for over 30 years. This is by far the worst experience at any school in the state I have been involved with. I've contacted the school board, transportation an attorney and finally had to get the children out of the school. They have problems with mendacity and refused to work with parents. They will lie and indicate they return calls or have made calls when they do not. Run as fast as you can away from this school!

WE love Ms. Jeannie the gifted preK teacher. She really meets the needs of her students. They are learning in a fun and developmentally appropriate environment.

The staff is incredibly helpful. Everyone is extremely nice and they all go out of their way to make every child feel at home. My child is in the gifted class and his teacher is phenomenal! She loves every student and clearly loves her job! I cannot say enough good things about her and the program.

My 2 younger kids started here in pre-k. My oldest is now in middle school and my youngest is in his last year there. This school has given both kids they foundation they need to prepare them for middle & high school. The teachers, administrators, cafeteria & custodial employees are all caring and take very good care of the kids they come in contact with daily. They personally know each kid by name and they know the needs of each kid. Their PTO is phenomenal and turn out by parents for events are incredible. Parent participation is 100%. Love this school and it's employees. It may not be perfect, but it's a close to how it was when I was a kid. I gave 4 stars, because there's always room for improvement.

My child went here from K-5th grade. K was ok. 1st was ok. 2nd grade teacher Ms Jagers is phenomenal! but i HATED 3rd and 4th grade for her. Not only were the teachers lazy, but my kid had issues with being bullied and none of them would do anything about it, even after multiple communication efforts. Their communication to me left me wondering how they were able to become teachers in the first place. The school went downhill once the newer principal was appointed. Unfortunately I had no other choice in where to put her for school because we cannot afford private school. Fortunately, 5th grade was her best year and I loved all 3 of her teachers. My child has had straight As for almost all of her elementary life. Unfortunately, I think its because she's just able to adapt...not because of the way the teachers teach.
