Horrible school wouldn’t recommend anybody sending their kids to the school at all whatsoever! Extremely poor management, and the principal thinks that she could just make her own rules and regulations up, and as if the school is not a public school, but a private one! Half of the children at the school are failing! There is absolutely no AC in the building whatsoever. They say that there is, but it’s broken. I have absolutely no idea what this school does with all their state funding that the state gives them. They allow staff to yell I mean full-blown scream right up in your child’s face, even if they’re only four years old. The principal has extremely horrible people skills and needs to learn how to speak to others with a little more respect! Never under any circumstances whatsoever is it OK for any staff members to yell at any child whatsoever for any reason especially children under the age of five, who have absolutely no idea what schools like!

Coming from city schools that were failing and not helping to a school that is very caring and cooperative. They have several after school activities. But, most of all, the teachers all care about their students from what I have seen. My daughter went from not reading to on grade level within a year and a half and my son has A.D.H.D. and the school does not fight me on the I.E.P. things that he needs. There are many great things about this school and it's staff too many to mention.

I am VERY disappointed in this school district. Needs a major overhaul. I have a special needs child and they had NO clue on how to handle him. My oldest child that is the middle school went from A's in a different school district to failing.
