Some of the teachers are terrible. If one has a problem with a student they get other teachers to put the student through pure hell. I do not recommend. This use to be a great school until all the good teachers left. Now they have new young teachers that are not trained to work with children. The teachers are more of a bully than the students. Do not send your kids here

If I could give a zero, I certainly would. My granddaughter attended this school less than 4 weeks and was assaulted twice during this time. She is terrified to return. There are fights almost daily. She stated she was unable to concentrate because the teachers were even bullied and the bullies essentially run the classrooms cursing and yelling constantly. I have started home schooling until an opening becomes available at a private school. This school is very unsafe.

Terrible. Bullying issues blamed on the child. My son was pushed down the bleachers during p.e. with no real consequences to the bullies. This was not a "single incidence of bullying," he was harassed all year long. Teachers rarely put in grades. They do not follow the MCSD guidelines for number of grades to count. They do not put anything in on a timely manner. As I type, a day past progress report day, one of my child's classes has NO GRADES in the book. Teachers do not answer e-mails. Administrators do not always answer e-mails. We are over it. Unfortunately, in addition to the tax money we dole out for public education, we are going to have to foot the tuition bill for private school next year.

This school provided the worst experience we have ever had at a school. After an experience with bullying, and being told it was my daughter's fault for letting it bother her, I had had enough. Honestly, I felt bullied by administration for having the nerve to bother them. Phone calls went ignored and resolution to issues were nothing more than lip service. I only wish I had moved her to a private school sooner. She has returned to her happy disposition and no longer cries everyday about her school situation.
