- Submitted by parent on June 27, 2020When I first brought my children to this school I immediately fell in love with the school. Unfortunately these last two years after new leadership took over the school has changed dramatically. The principal is not an effective leader because she teaches too many classes. The school is under staff, so therefore teachers are teaching too many classes and cannot effectively focus on classes. Teachers need more training, school needs new text books. The text books the children have are extremely old. When you have a concern and you bring it to the principal she's unable to resolve your issue. The principal has no support from the school board, which is the main reason why the school is not doing well. Parents continue to take their children out the school and there are still no changes. So I had to make the same decision to remove my child from the school.
