My children went to this school a few months during a very stressful life situation our family was going through and I was not impressed at all. Bullying, little help from teachers, no compassion. Might as well be a zoo they let out of control kids do whatever they want to include verbally attacking staff. I knew the prior principle whom would've never let things get this bad and out of control.

This school is a hidden gem. The teachers, the support staff and the principal are so caring. I would love to see more parents support the staff and understand it can’t all be left for the teachers to teach. Simple life skills can start in the home to set them up for success at school.

They really do not care about their kids. My kids have learning disabilities and are targeted. It is a constant battle with this school. I have tried changing schools and have been denied the transfer. I do not recommend this school to anyone.

As someone mentioned before, communication is terrible. When my childs grades are suffering, a heads up would be nice instead of having to find out from their report card. Parent teacher conferences are a joke. They don't tell you what's going on, not do they give you anything to take home to help your child bring up their grades. Meet the teachers at the beginning of the year is just to fill our more paperwork and look at the classrooms; not learn what they teach the kids or what their schedules are like.Also there is no gifted program, even though I was told every semester that there would be one to help stimulate my son with harder work.Still going here, to give the new teachers a chance to fix what went on last year. Hopefully this year will be better, but I'm not banking on it.Front office ladies are awesome though.

Like all schools you have some super exciting things that happen and others that the school needs to work on. I think one of the biggest issues I have had at this school is lack of communication, but this is based on individual teachers and not the school as a whole. It is a small school, which is a plus. Also they need to work on spraying their fields my child comes home every day with more and more bites. As of today I had to start spraying her with bug spray. The principle and front desk staff are wonderful no complaints there. Just be open minded. They school has some excellent qualities and its in a very nice location.
