Front office staff are not welcoming or helpful and my daughter's pre-k teacher made her cry every day and made rude comments about personal matters. Had to withdraw my kids and put them in another school because that is how unhappy I was and they were.

See previous comments. Horrible I felt as though I had done something wrong and the child that was supposed to already have stay away orders, was able to knock my son down, kick him, and stomp on his back.

The teachers do help children that struggle in certain areas, such as reading & math. Teachers are motivating and enthusiastic about teaching.

Assistant principal belittles parents and speaks to them in a degrading manner. She went as far as saying my son was being dishonest but when the district got involved they concluded that my son was indeed telling the truth and the other parties were being dishonest.

My son has had several instances where he has been the victim of bullying and they do not help to resolve the issues. According to my son the teacher would even ignore him when he tried to report it to her.

My son was bullied at the school and rather than figure out what had actually happened the school did all they could to avoid reporting the issue. They went as far as saying there were inconsistencies in my son's story and that bruises on his body may have been caused in the household rather than by the incident. I had to get the district involved and even then I wasn't totally satisfied with their resolution. 18 more days and he will start attending a Charter school.

I love tho school. The teacher challenges my daughter everyday,she gets lots of one on one attention. My daughters teacher stays in constant communication with me. Everyone is friendly and takes the time to get to know all the students and parents

This school is average. Yes, the building is new, but the teachers are no more special than any other teachers. Nonetheless, the after school program staff is pleasant and my fourth grader enjoys it.
