We have dealt with nothing but disrespectful and condescending staff. The staff run that school like a prison, especially at lunch time. The children are given scant time for socializing and relaxing to eat lunch with their friends, always with teachers marching up and down the aisles with a judging and watchful eye barking down at the children. Children have to sit facing one direction and not allowed to turn around to talk. If any child messes up they are sent to "reflection time" where they are banished to eat alone. Tattling on friends/students is highly encouraged. My child has had such a hard time in this school due to inconsistent, subpar teaching. Many times we have had to take homework assignments back to the teacher for incorrect grammar, unclear directions and a lot of the time the question won't even have a correct answer bank! I am taking my child out to homeschool because they are way better off at home than at this prison of a school. This school very clearly only cares about the money they recieve. This is by far the absolutely worst school in this district. If you are thinking about sending your child to this school--don't do it!! Trust me you will regret it!
