This school is a major disappointment. The admins and other staff will wait until literally the last minute to contact the parent about an issue involving your child that happened hours earlier versus right after the incident has occurred. This school also has quite a few teachers who are not board certified/qualified to teach but are hired as full-time teachers. The kids were already falling behind due to Covid and now due to the unqualified teachers, the kids are not able to learn at their respective grade level. Another subject I want to touch base on is the safety issue. The school claims to have a safety procedure or plan in place but the kids are constantly being bullied and threatened. School is suppose to be a safe and fun learning environment. Something needs to be done now because these kids are the future and we must provide them with whatever they need to be successful.

Very surprised to see this rating! From personal experience this school has been a place for my son to grow and challenge himself in the guidance of very strong and loving teachers!

This is truly an "undervalued" school in the area. Dedicated and effective staff. Very Diverse

All 3 of our children received a firm educational foundation which they have continued to build upon successfully.

My school is a fantastic place with wonderful teachers. If I were to win the five-thousand dollars I would make sure that my fifth grade teacher gets a promethian board.
