We tried this school. It was a nightmare. Older grades walk out during class session and run a muck. PE teacher has no creativity and makes the kids just run (I saw her get confrontational with kids over boys waiting with a friend for pickup). Front desk lady gets hostile because she can't do her job (I called the office needing my boys to walk home and no communication was sent out by her and many other incidents). There is money given to every school by the district for school supplies, not a single class got supplies. Who knows where that money went. I had a special needs child and no help was provided it came to the point where they wouldn't watch him and hes just walk around campus (he's always had a good teachers in other schools that where able to meet his needs.) Teacher also shared her personal views that God wasn't real to my small child ( personal opinion don't belong in class. She could've asked him to keep it for home.) The whole school is a mess and it has a lot of kids on the edge of their seats because of all the lack of creativity, communication, and discipline from staff. They disciplined them in all the wrong ways. The only time the kids where happy to come to school was when The marthon ppl where there. PS they would help the high spectrum needs but neglected the ones low. Needless to say you can see the stress in the parents and I hope that new staff help change this school for the better. I got my kids out and ran.

The teacher that my son has doesn't seem to understand children with adhd. He has told me several times how she makes him sit alone. When I asked the staff to walk him to his class so I can see for myself where he sits, I was told that wasn't allowed.

I think the therapist at the school is wonderful and understanding, however I can't say the same for the rest of the staff.

I think the school lacks in understanding to children with behavioral issues. The office staff is rude and met with the same attitude they are shocked. They talk down to working mothers. The only staff personnel I have met that seems to really care is the school Therapist. They have also seemed to signal out my son because he is different than the other students. I would not recommend this school if your child is ADD/ ADHD or has behavioral issues.

Mrs. Horton is the best 6th grade/gate teacher ever!!!! She goes above and beyond for her students.
