I have been dealing with the school since last year, my son has been bullied ALL YEAR. And he is only in kindergarten!! Students are hitting him, slapping him,calling him names. It got to the point to where he would cry because he didn't want to go to school, he would tell me that he didn't feel like anyone loved him or cared for him at the school and that he was scared of some of his class mates. I just pulled him out of the school two weeks early because it has gotten so bad. His teacher was great but the schools approach on bullying and their "zero tolerance for bullying" is a joke. He will not be coming back next year, I will drive him to an out of district school. I don't feel like it's a safe environment for children who are dealing with bullies.

Richard Bowling Elementary School is filthy, there are rodents running over desks while children are in class. i would never take my child here. The children simply don't care. The teachers try to help, but the students make it nearly impossible to be helped. One of the few teachers who do care is Mrs. B. Vail. During the summer, kids were afraid to go to camps there since there were cockroaches and rats running like crazy behind sinks and in bathrooms.
