My child went to this school for 5th grade and was put in the wrong class for English. She was also bullied all 5th grade by same person, and I was unaware until my child finally reported the bullying to me. I made the school aware and asked them to help with the problem. There solution was to keep the two kids in different classes, however today it all began again while my child was in the lunchroom with the other child. This child threw food and made harassing comments at my child and her friend. I called the school and reported this to them. They are looking into the problem. I am sorry but you do not have a solution or plan in place for bullying?? Then you allow children to continue to bully and do nothing about it, shame on you school!! This is unacceptable and I would not recommend this school unless you are okay with your child being bullied.

In terms of safety, a healthy learning environment, kids per classroom and teachers that care this school is amazing. Your child will be safe, the teachers care, commutation is fantastic. As an educator myself, I have high standards when it comes to ELA. I was very disappointed that the books chosen to read for 6th grade this year were all the same as previous years(Percy Jackson, Flush and Refugee)the content is rich however the the perspective is from all white male authors. I don’t think is good to only get one perspective all year. Also not all books have a graphic novel associated with them except Percy Jackson and the lightening Thief, which should be standard for students who have reading challenges and comprehension problems, graphic novels are extremely helpful. I did express this concern to the principal and the curriculum coordinator who were very receptive. Hopefully in the next year we move of a variety of literature. I would highly recommend this school, the students are wonderful and the staff is amazing.
