We attended this school for 3 years too, many in my opinion. My child was bullied, and when my child defended themselves, they got into trouble, not the bully. The principal will make many promises that she will not keep. Your child will be left behind grade-wise; the teachers will not respond nor communicate with the parents unless your child is failing, and by that point, it's hard to play catch up. Even after many notes to the teachers, nothing will come back. 2nd and 3rd graders denied the children recess just because the teacher said. It's a brand-new school with horrible ethics. According to one teacher, children are screaming with full tantrums in the halls during class regularly. The front desk staff are new and clueless on how to run a front desk, handle parents, and make calls to teachers. We waited over 15 minutes while the front desk tried to locate my children cause the front desk didn't know which class they were in, nor did they wait for a response from the teachers they called to ensure they were calling the right teacher. The school is a mess; I would avoid it at all costs.

There are kids who do not behave and are disrespectful to everyone. They get to do what they want and are given rewards for doing it. Why wouldn't they keep it up? The kids who are trying don't have a chance to learn because the other students are allowed to do what they want.
