VERY BIASED! Everyone is friends with everyone in the schools and in the district so if you file a complaint against a principal, teacher or anyone in the school itself they are all friends with each other so nothing gets done about parents concerns and complaints. I have contacted someone from the district to complaint about this school violating my child's rights but since the teacher, principal and district person are besties nothing gets done.. Even my emails get ignored. This school does not put children 1st. If your child has an IEP they remove services whenever they want to. Whether you agree or not. Worst school!

This is the most horrible school me and my child have ever dealt with. Bullying is ignored unless you contact the district. Administration shows no concern or worries about bullying and the effects it can make on children!

I think this school is great. My child has been in this school at (4/10) and another unnamed school (9/10) and at this school they seemed to help and take time to work with my child for her learning experience to be great. The other unnamed school sent papers home and said your child needs to learn this to pass to the next grade and left it at that. I felt like that was a reach this school and this was an actual learning school. Everyday my child came home and talked to me about school (from this school: something she learned) at the other school she always said she learned nothing at school or she doesn’t remember. I didn’t like that.

My son has been bullied all year long, but is looked at as the aggressor because. When he defends himself he gets suspended. This is not a great place to send your children. I am disgusted with how things are handled at this school.
