My daughter and family had so much stress going to this school constant bullying the lack of action of the school to stop it and when it gets out of control they call the police and the children face legal action but there is never mediation between the school and the parents to stop the bullying and the fights I believe that that something as simple as a mandatory meeting at the to talk to the kids and parents on meet the parents teachers day counseling un educated parents and children about aggression and bullying would turn this school around

There's a bomb threat at least once a month. Today, December 2021, there has been a total of 2 bomb threats just this month. What exactly is this school doing to deter kids from making these threats???!?

For a parent who looks from outside of the school and doesn't investigate anything about the school, it would seem that it's decent at most. But as a student who has attended this school from K-8 I think this school is a joke. Unprofessional teachers and staff lurk around every corner. Most of the time I feel that the school is sometimes a free for all, with the principle and vice principle destroying many redeemable factors that this school once held. Unorganization and disrespect from students is definitely normal here. Bullying is a problem which is never handled properly and the schools staff that's in charge of events such as field day and the special Olympics can never seem to get the schedule right. Teachers are usually left in the dark as much as students are when it comes to things like schedule changes and events. The schools budget is never correctly used, with things being damaged and never being fixed for months on end. The educational system is absolutely atrocious with students hardly learning anything through the course of the day. They also removed recess from the schedule which has been absent in the schedule since grade 5. If your coming from a better school or area I strongly recommend not putting your child in this school or Reading, as both are pretty similar. If your looking to move i suggest putting your child in a different school.

My child had to deal with bullying which wasn't handled appropriately. His special education plan wasn't being followed and I had to deal with many arrogant and ignorant teachers along the way. Disrespect towards teachers and others seems to be the "norm" here.

The school has a very good music program. I can see where my hard earned tax dollars go, education and great facilities for the kids. My daughter loves the school and most of her teachers... Go Muhls!!
