They kick off each year with an assembly to stop it before it starts. They also address it quickly if it becomes an issue at any point.

2 out of 3 of my children receive extra help. They are great.

My son attended this school last year and was extremely disappointed. Even though it's in a nice neighborhood the staff is awful. Especially the office staff. Terrible communication, with teachers very snobby. Roy B. Kelley and Charles Upson I've had a better experience there. The staff at Roy B. Kelley and Upson are so much friendlier and helpful. Parent teacher communication is great. So don't let looks device you. These 2 elementary school's are awesome.
