The teachers, support staff, and administrators truly care about the students! They go the extra mile to ensure that students love learning and want to come to school. The emphasis is on academics as well as family and community involvement. Parents are always welcome and greated with a smile.

Had 2 children at this school. The oldest did okay, but the youngest was bullied constantly and no one stopped it. Honors program was good. Policies were inhumane, such as when my oldest was on crutches for a sprained ankle and was forced to use a wheelchair because "crutches are a weapon." Same child was forbidden to wear sunglasses during migraines, until we paid extra for another doctor visit for a note. Bottom line: if you already excel and don't have special health needs, you'll do fine here. If you struggle or need a mild exception to the policies, forget about getting the help you need. VERY focused on their test scores and not on their student well-being. They also read aloud the student surveys to the children and force them to choose 5's for everything.

Main office staff do not go the extra mile to help you. I believe some of them have been in the system too long. Technology never seems to work and there is a serious lack of communication between people in the main office to virtual teachers and parents. To say they're disorganized is an understatement. They seem to be behind in their learning schedule compared with other counties in the state and with other states in general. I would not recommend sending your child here if you are serious about your child's growth.

Fantastic place! Teachers care about my child and keep me informed about what's going on.

Not too pleased. Not consistent. Announcements of school activities go out late or don't go out at all. I never know what's going on with school until 1-2 days before. They're posting news on social media, but they don't call you through the automated system or vice versa.
