In my opinion this is the worst school. I say this because I have a child in 5th grade who functions at a first grade level, He was in a smaller class for the reason of his special needs. They moved him to a regular classroom where now he is falling behind in his education. I have been to multiple meetings to try to adjust and fix this situation and yet it’s like my voice is not being heard. It’s unacceptable that my child had to fall behind due to their poor choice of actions. please don’t waist your time sending your child to this school.

This school has a lot of work to do. They do not communicate very well with parents and it’s not a trusting environment. The teachers are fine, however, can be lazy. The students who are aggressive do not have the necessary support they need and take anger out on the other children. That’s not fair to anyone. There is no indoor play site for the little ones and the kids resort to playing in the auditorium when the weather is not permitting of them being outside. Very dangerous. Parent involvement is almost nonexistent. Not because the parents don’t want to be involved, but because the school doesn’t provide opportunities to do so. There was initial talk of so but the momentum died down to the point where it went no where. There’s no consistent daily or even weekly updates of the little ones progress. We’re talking abut 3, 4 & 5 year old. These are our babies and we should be updated consistently about what is going on with our children. I do not recommend this disorganized, untruthful and lacking program.
