This is the worst school ever. The teachers talk to the kids like they are nothing. They bully the kids and verbally Abuse them. The principal does nothing about it. I have called the school board and nothing still hasn’t been done. My kids got 3 more months. They will never return here I ask for a transfer the school board keep giving me the run around about it.

I thought I was putting my kids in a great school but I was ALL WRONG!!! I have tried to have a conference with 1 of the teachers and she would never respond and as soon as she began to have a problem with my child she wanted to talk. So NO, I do not like THIS school and I think the teachers are there for a check!

I have 2 children that attend this school. Whereas 1 child has a great teacher, my others teacher is horrible at communicating with me. I have to send numerous letters before I can get a response, he gets singled out and is not allowed to do certain things. I have even payed for events or goods for him, that he didn't receive until I actually went to the school and proved they had already cashed my check. The paperwork from the school about upcoming activities is vague. They make the assumption that you have had a child in that school before. We were not, so sorry, I don't know what you did last year, how about explanations. This school has poor communication, some mediocre teachers, and is definitely a disappointment. So much so we will be going to private school or homeschooling after winter break.
