  My child went to school there from a light house school in another city. She was in a gifted/talented program there and excelled. Upon arriving to this school my daughter was paired up to become friends with another student that I guess none of the other children cared for. She was picked on the entire year 1/2 she attended school here. Then the principle called me stating through "handwriting analysis" they thought that she had threatened another student. She has never been known to bully or has ever had a H discipline problems as in a big city I'm sure the kids get more training on that than in a small town; also she loves people so they would never be in her nature. There was also another incident where she needed to use the bathroom and did not know where the bathroom was. A counselor called me stating the teacher claimed my child was touching herself. I have never heard anything so appalling in my entire life! Upon further investigation she had not been told where the bathroom was. I've never been so disgusted by a school district in my entire life. Their curriculum is centered around worksheets. My student would complete this and read and draw after she was done with her work. The teacher would tell me to have her stop reading in class because she wasn't paying attention. Mind you she was making all A's. It tells me this is a failure of the school as well.After we moved schools all the problems seemed to magically go away and she all of a sudden loves school again. As a parent I would never encourage any student to be placed in this school- as it unfortunately caused her emotional trauma. It hurt to see a child who once loved school so much to go to crying everyday for a year and 1/2. ...More Reviews
