I have no clue how this school has a 4.7 rating on google it has got to be the teachers leaving the ratings!! This school is even worse than Cliffdale elementary school which was my worst experience out here!! Tons of fights here, they do NOT care about education because they kept my baby out of school for over a month because one parent not on BC, kids fighting daily like what?? In elementary. I come from up north and kids don’t got to worry about bullying or fights till middle school. Kids are kids in elementary. My baby got hit by a kid on more than one occasion so I hope yall know when he smacks kids back he won’t be in trouble. Only good things is the ratio, 1;7 or 1:5 is great. Special education is def not their specialty as my baby is behind. I’ve asked about tutoring etc and they got nothing. He probably needs an IEP but the school don’t recognize things like that here. My baby hates it here due to the kids. I hate it cause of rude staff. I can’t wait till choice school time is all I can say.

This is the worst school I have ever came encountered with. My child has been mistreated and bullied by staff and administrators. First the social worker continued to call regarding my child uniform but he has been wearing his uniform since the first day of school. The Social worker stated she would buy my child collar shirts but as I informed her, paperwork stated that students could wear plain tee shirts or collar shirts. My child stated once we disconnected the call the social worker proceeded to say that WalMart has collar shirts negatively. I have tried to communicate things out with the school but things have gotten worse. An administrator in the office put one of my children in a choke hold but when we discussed the incident when the incident happened the choke hold was never mentioned. Administrator admitted she did put my child in a choke hold. When discussing my child’s education the school only gave me one option to do an assessment to label my child special ed (handicapped) just because I asked for extra one on one assistance with his math and reading. All students received an assessment test at the beginning of the school year so why was my child final scores not used to see where his level of education stand? The teachers are rude and assume there is problems within your household when you address your concerns with their(teachers) behavior. One teacher address my child as “that child” instead of their given name. One of my children called me stating she was sick but no adult nor nurse gave me a call. When I called back to make sure my child was okay, the front desk administrator was rude and was talking to others in the background. I have addressed these concerns to the principal and board of education. This is not all of my concerns and nothing is being done. I would not recommend this school to anyone.
