This school is just not recommended. First of all the principal always has no clue what she's doing. I see kids fighting and hurting each other and all they do about is suspend them. Thats it. No anti bullying program, just do something bad and your expelled. I would also like to say they will just hire anyone. My son had a teacher that would call parents and cuss them out. How are you going to manage a school when you cant even manage the teachers. DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN THIS SCHOOL. I REPEAT!!!!!

Students are given homework that relate to the current lessons being taught which gives them relevant practice and not busy work
Posted: May 14, 2020
Teachers give their all and then some to make sure students have everything they need to succeed. They go way over and beyond their call of duty.

Any claims of bullying or behavior related issues are handled promptly and responsibly, and discipline measures are taken immediately which cuts down on the bullying/bad behavior rate tremendously

While I have observed children with visible disabilities being treated and moved carefully. I feel that those students with out someone visible by the eye were not treated and supported the way the should be.

Not in my case, now there maybe other cases I am not privy too.

Teachers rarely give homework, it should not be expected daily. Surprised by the limited amount given.
Posted: January 22, 2019
Communitcation should be key, but thats not going on in the school.
Posted: January 22, 2019
This school doesn't have integrity it's self. When administrators stand and tell a ball face lie with in an hour of others stating something else is sad for the kids.
Posted: January 22, 2019
Again communication should be key. They have no control of the class rooms. The school is not safe.

I would never recommend this school. When an administrator can stand and tell a bold face lie after being in a meeting with other administrators stating something else is beyond me. Unless you can stay on top of things with them and document every little thing. My experience was not the best in seven months my child was there, I only see this school as not structured or disciplined. Both with administration and students. I should not be a first choice.
