School does nothing to deter harassment and bullying. Teachers hands are tied. Kids have no respect

Some great staff who do their best but the overall school experience is not good. Extremely cliquey, bullying never properly dealt with, if you’re not “normal” you will 100% not be accepted. No growth in learning and struggling students are not very well accommodated.

This school is the worst and if your child has needs good luck the teachers care more about th men selves and their pay then what the children need won’t enforce jacket policy’s or allow a child to stop at locker in 10 degree weather. But if your child is absent for Covid. That is unacceptable and is an inexcusable absence. Even with dr notes. Not to mention the far left policy they try to push secretly. Very cliquey in this town. Not to mention safety but the office window has bullet resistance not the windows facing the road though.

My child's needs were not really addressed and he was never at grade level. Pulling him out and having him schooled elsewhere was our only option.

The school allows the students to think outside the box and allows for independent creativity. It is a nurturing and encouraging environment. The children want to learn and do thrive there.

This school seems to fail students with special ed needs. They try but just do not have the expertise to teach students with different learning styles. They also do not have students using textbooks so help at home can be extremely frustrating. They do offer Spanish but it seems like a waste for most of the students unfortunately because they just don't seem to learn anything until middle school and then only the advanced Spanish students.

This school does not allow students to take home textbooks...other than that...it seems to be a lovely school. I am a relative of two students and have difficulty helping them with homework. Also, missed work is hard to catch up on without textbooks.
