This is a violent, ill managed school. Take care of your little ones. Don't send them to this school.

This is the worst school experience we've ever had. My son will NOT be returning. These poor kids. What a shame.

we recently moved here from out of state and must say the school is not visually appealing nor are the teachers but they are very nice. The school does seem rather old and could use some updates. when I enrolled my child the office help bragged about the use of technology how the classrooms have ipads and children get to use them along with computers. When I talk to my child daily about what was done through the day its never anything new or challenging and when asked if allowed to go on the computer or ipad the answer is always NO. Very disappointing other schools my child has attended offered and had sites the children used on a regular basis. School functions are very unorganized. Would also like to share that the time my daughter was there i never met principle. She doesnt seem to be very involved in the activities of the school. Would also like to add the teachers dont seem to challenge the kids but just push them along. As for parent involvement i have offered to go on field trips and was turned down.

As a parent of Allen Jay I can say honestly that the school is an old school. It might not look like much from the outside or even this website. But the staff make all the difference. My child is type 1 diabetic and has been treated with the up most respect and care I could ever ask for. The staff make the day fun and joyful for the kids. My daughter has always wanted to go to school. Just like a book you should not judge it by the cover. Open it up and see. We love this school.
