My experience at this school has been excellent the past 4 years since prior principal Steuwy left. The staff will go out in the community to find resources for families that are in need. They have family night, after school tutoring and principal listens to your concerns and rectifies the concerns in a timely manner. The communication amongst staff is excellent, I love the dialog of the Principal(Dr. Walker and VP( Ms. Smith), they are alwaysq on the same accord or they don't give a concrete answer without speaking to the other. No school is perfect and of course it's staff there that don't love what they do, but when you enter the premises those kids are loved and you can see it! Which is a plus for me!

The worst school I have ever known does not help you at all, they give you incorrect information and they never call to find out about anything.

the school is under new leadership, with a lot of great changes. I see that there was 1 bad review from 11 years ago. This school is not the name same, the students now have a lot of new opportunities for them to excel. The school grade should be re-evaluated. My children are doing well, 1st, 3rd and 6th grade - all honor roll. It's a team effort.

My child struggled at this school. As much as I asked for extra help for her I was brushed aside. Their math aid only had time for TAG students. Teachers didnt want to communicate with me and the principal made excuses. We moved to another county and my daughter has since flourished.
