Unfortunately I have to agree with the most recent reviewer and say this school seems to cover up a lot. They do NOT properly protect children from bullying or any other type of harmful harassment! The principle will attempt to have private meetings with your child and not have the parent present even if you've requested to be present. There are absolutely no consequences for the bad behaviors even with witnesses and paper trails. This school does not seem to be adequately trained on important factors and it's extremely unorganized in so many ways. There is a lot of lack in respect especially when their own principle cuts off concerned parents while speaking and does NOTHING to properly & lawfully rectify anything. Not a school that gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling that my children are safe here, sadly. They need major help.

School hides everything fromParents. Kids get bullied daily and teachers bribe kids with candy daily. Zero discipline for kids that break rules and hurt others. Accommodations and parent wishes are never respected . Parents were kept off campus for everything for many years. Teachers have almost zero curriculum or training and most aren’t even credentialed. Students could learn more at home in an hour than they do there. My kids watches slime YouTube videos half the day in class.

I can’t say enough great things about this school. The teachers and the new principal really care about the kids here.

They are cutting teachers left and right. The class sizes are pushing 30. My child was getting behind and we decided to home school since the area is so small and the schools are limited no options. The current principle seems uninformed about the school and children in general. Overall the teachers seem to be doing their best, I don't think it will be enough considering what kids need today to stay ahead. This school is moving backwards an not forward!
