Both of my kids went to this school. Four to five years ago this was a great school with great caring teachers and I feel like the school was much more family oriented. Around the time that this school was remodeled and blended with Portland staff and students and after Covid I feel like we lost about half of the good caring teachers and staff. We did add a handful of good , new, young teachers but some of the teachers there seem burnt out and don’t seem to care or put much effort into teaching anymore. This has really hurt the kids that fell behind during Covid because it seems like a he money this school has been given has been used on making it look prettier but not on getting the extra help and the resources that these kids actually need to try and get them back on track and where they need to be. Five years ago I talked about how much we loved this school and would recommend it to anyone. I don’t feel this way anymore.

The principle is very rude and not understanding of how to deal with children with a disability. When you talk to her and discuss what is going on, she gets extremely upset and hung up on me. I have made a report against her.

There are a lot of great teachers at this school. Unfortunately, proper leadership is lacking. When my child stood up for a child that was being bullied, he was punished. The principal stated that he should not have got involved in something that did not involve him. I have always told my kids to stand up for others that are being treated badly.
