My child was bullied from day one at this school! Teachers, Guidance counselors nor principle did anything to stop it! Kids are killing themselves these days over being bullied. This HAS TO BE ADDRESSED!!!!!
I am currently looking into putting my child into a new school! My child fought me everyday to go to school! I hate that my child felt that way. They need to come out with a solution for bulling! This is a serious issue!

I have had a wonderful experience since my daughter has attended. I keep in touch with her teachers and staff and even with the current budget cuts the school is facing the staff is extremely dedicated and do show that they truly care about our childrens' education. Being able to transfer my daughter here has been a blessing.
