The school endorses an atmosphere of bullying, allowing a female student to skip classes and seek out my son on his breaks and lunch to be vile and threatening towards my son, then branding him as a bully when he defends himself. None of the purported authority figures of the school have even discussed why, after a stay apart agreement was reached, the other student is allowed to repeatedly break the agreement with no consequences and offer my son the protection he deserves to have while obtaining his education. Awful school whose staff act concerned but take no action to protect it's students

This is really Great school with my experience

This school was aweful! The only thing I liked was that the ladies in the office were very sweet. But as far as education goes they do not help the students that need it most. I would not have sent my children here if I knew how much they wouldn't be taught while going here. It's 2 years later and we're still dealing with the repercussions of bad teaching!

Both of my children went here for one year. My youngest started Kinder here and then went to another school and is still there. She was a year behind in reading and writing when starting 1st grade. Kinder was an aweful experience for her. There were kids in her class throwing chairs and figthing all year. The teacher was even worse. She couldn't handle the Kinder as it was her first year teaching that grade.
As for my oldest, she was in 2nd grade here. Went inot it a little behind grade level in reading and writing and was supposed to get a little extra help each day to help her catch up. She never got this help. She was brushed under the rug and forgotten about. When she started 3rd grade at her new school she was 2 grade levels behind because of this.

My step son has to go to this school. He went there for Kindergarten and he went to a different school for first grade. He was way behind in first grade they said he was at a kindergarten level on everything. Before school started the school told us 4 times who his teacher was going to be. On the first day of school the teacher said no sorry I don't have him in my class You'll have to go to the office to find out who his teacher is. I find the school for disorganized and not upto date on helping the children learn. Like they are just pushing the kids through.
