Hay mucho bully y no solo entre estudiantes también de algunas maestras se supone que las maestras deben dar lo mejor de ellas y dar el ejemplo. Ni la directora hace nada todo lo mantienen en secreto y lo manejan como accidente. Si pudiera darle cero estrellas se lo daría

My daughter is in kindergarten today a child in her class grabbed another childs hair and started punching him. The teacher said when you get in 1st grade and do that your going to the principal then the child wasnt able to play anymore!

I got married in Dec & moved to SC from VA Im extremely happy our lease in up now & were moving to a better school district. I feel bad for the students here,the scores are awful when Im in parent pick up the teachers talk to the children on the play ground like animals. Office staff isnt professional at all. There is always bullying going on,its horrible!

Great school..tremendous improvement. The Principal is awesome and there to always listen...she has an open door policy. The teachers are awesome and always put the students first. My son's grades improved tremendously when we moved from a neighboring district. Highly recommend this school.

This school has allowed my child to become bullied to the extinct that he has thought about hurting himself. They are refusing to allow him in school because of an address issue when I went to enroll him into the correct school which is condor elementary the school to has refused to take him becasue he is special services the district has told me he has to stay home and miss more school until they have the time to transfer all his services they have set my son up for failure and take no responsibility for it. What happened to no child left behind? How much more time does he have to miss from school. It is also convenient that they did this when PASS testing is going on because they know that he will not score high on the testing because they have allowed him to miss so much school and they don't want the scores to tarnish their false reputation of being an award winning school.

In continuation to what I was saying, I asked the teacher for extra work, instead of complaining again, to pull up my child's C. And the response was pretty much, due to copy limitation it wasn't possible but I could go to the dollar store and use websites to help her practice. Hummmm, that surely won't change her grade now will it?! If teaching doesn't make you happy or smile, it shouldn't be done! Because slowly my child is going from not wanting to miss a day of school to not wanting to go anymore!!! Some teachers maybe there because they love it, but some are clearly not afraid to show that they are there just for a pay check!!
