My kid got bullied in this school and they did nothing about it. When I filed a police report, there's about 20 something cases Infront of my kid case.

Totally ignored so many times when needed help. Got my child transferred to new teacher, would not explain why. Everyone, literally everyone, claim they'll call back but does not do so. How hard is it to do something so little out of your day to answer one question. Act like ya busy but ignore all the requests such as needed informations but no reply. Got a bunch of karens teacher that ignores you when you message 3 days ago and they "act" like they were busy and never got time to reply. Sure, sure you're busy taking a dump in yo toilet and not have time to return an important message back to any of the students' parents' concern. Unprofessional info given, bullshh school ever. Definitely deserves the 3/10 rating. I wish it was 1/10. All the average scores are low asf for this school. My kid came home crying about the teacher being mean, not one single note or text in the sht school about why my child is crying. Zero communications. Such an a55 school. Wish to move out soon, had no choice but to go here for the next year, f u hickory. Ya so proud about ya city, brag all ya want ya so blind to see how much better other city town out there are. Ya have the lowest score of 3/10 on all schools in the area, worst in the states. Worst environment, filled with druggy and bad people influencing our kids to be like that. My child was nice until they started copying other stupid kids' behavior. Nothing was done, all we get is having our child come back with a slap home. No wonder the communication is sht here and the people here grows up to have low academic score cus everyone were treated like shht

My daughter is in first grade. I like that there’s a police officer on duty every day here.

So far it has been a good experience. Teachers are caring and do a great job with our children.

I recently was there with my son and my nephew for bookfair.. I witnessed a teacher in the bus rider line in the face of a child with her finger pointing on his nose screaming!! I butted in and said if you can not handle kids then you do not need to be in a school.. teachers are suppose to make kids feel safe and make them want to come to school.. seems like they feel better when they have control over the kids and scare them.. my son is only in Kinder and asks me everyday if he can be a car rider so he don't have to ride the bus in the afternoon.. due to my work I cant but I wish I could after seeing her do that to a kid!... I reported her and the school and all I got back was it would be looked into.. I told my son and my nephew if a teacher ever does that to them .. to stand up tell the teacher they are NOT thier parents and they WILL NOT yell or scream or touch them.. and if they wanna try to scare someone , then try scaring their moms.. I HATE THIS SCHOOL>>> I really wish I could transfer my son somewhere else... most of the teachers there have no heart ... they are only there for the pay check.. they don't care about those kids.

My daughter has been at this school for two years and the staff really care about her and her progress. I notice other reviews are older maybe things have changed in the last few years. My daughter has autism and will go from Pre-K to Kindergarten next year and she loves this school.
