I am shocked to see these reviews. It appears as though only the disgruntled have left them. Don't let one bad apple ruin the bunch! This is an amazing school! My eldest went here and now my younger child attend. Both have had great teachers and loved going to school everyday. Any time I had any issue or concern the teachers answered, and if they couldn't they found out! I would absolutely recommend this school!

The people that run this school are a disgrace. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! Bullies run the school while teacher turn a blind eye, and then reward said bullies with an end-of-year "Best Character" Award!? Disgusting. Your children are NOT SAFE here.

This school is awful! Just the worse. My son is on his third full time teacher this yr, its only January. They can't get the buses on time ever. Just excuses after excuses. Have never seen the principle. The teachers and staff will lie to your face. Terrible!!!! Just shut off the power and lock the doors.

NOT IMPRESSED! My daughter attended this school temporarily for a few months and I was impressed by the low academic quality of this school. The staff is friendly but teachers don't seem to challenge the students to do better, instead give them super easy work that doesn't help the students improve. Tried to contact the teachers and school counselor but never got an answer from them. If you're thinking about enrolling your child into this school, think twice before you do it.

Most of the staff here is nice & friendly, but there are grouchy ones. We moved from out of state; one child went through 2 yrs until middle school and the other is still there for 3+ yrs.One tells me that there are teachers that yell at the kids during class and carpool. The teachers are usually busy taking care of the unruly, disruptive kids and do not have time for the quiet ones. As long as your kids are C and passing, they do not seem to push or improve. Both kids are/were Honor Roll and are/were not challenged at all. If there's anything new, the kids will learn it the first semester. The second semester is almost all review and prep for end of grade testing. Not impressive. Extra-curricular activities are non-existent. Communication with teachers depends on the teacher. We had one that didn't send home graded papers & tests until a month or longer after the fact; by then the few bad scores had impacted his grade. She, however, didn't notice that a child that normally made 90's + up wasn't performing as usual with a 60 and 70 on tests. Hard for a parent to know how your child is doing when you can only review their homework with them.
