I am only giving this school a 1 star since there is no star available, My daughter attended this school last year and I agree with the previous reviewer, Saturday school seems to be mandatory for any little thing. I have switched my daughter's school and have seen a major improvement on her personality and most important grades. Sorry NCM you need a lot of improvements.

I 100% agree with this parent National would blow up my phone about my san needing to go to Saturday school for an absence he had an excuse for. I told the attendance lady that he would not be attending saturday school at the time I turned in his dr's excuse. My son no longer attends school here and I have less stress in my life. I went to the school board with my issues and nothing was ever done. Not surprised the same problems continues.They can continue to make the school look nice but until they get teachers who like their job and what they do the school will remain the same. Poor students they know no better.

So far this school is absolutely awful! I feel like they are setting certain children up for failure! Who gives a child an F so early?! That must feel awful and degrading for their esteem. I noticed the staff are ALWAYS trying to fill Saturday school for ANY little thing! Talk about hard up for state funds.. Sadly our children are suffering because noone does anything about it..
