Worst Experience Administrative Negligence and Safety FailuresI am leaving a 1-star review to publicly document a severe lack of student safety, administrative dishonesty, and an unsupportive environment at this school.Rampant Bullying & Toxic Culture: The campus repeatedly fails to address student bullying, while multiple teachers rely on destructive criticism that breaks student morale rather than encouraging learning. The lunches provided are consistently poor.Severe Field Trip Negligence: During a 5th-grade school field trip to a roller skating rink, chaperones completely abandoned a student who did not know how to skate. Despite falling 20 times due to zero supervision or assistance, no adult intervened. On the 21st fall, the student suffered a fractured and severely twisted ankle.Cover-Up and Blame Shifting: Rather than taking responsibility for their total failure to supervise, the school administration fabricated a story claiming the student was "doing a trick." This is a blatant lie designed to shift legal liability and avoid paying medical bills.This administration prioritizes funding, attendance numbers, and covering up its own mistakes over the physical safety and emotional well-being of its students. Avoid this school.

I do NOT recommend this school. They do not care about the personalities of the people they hire, just that they will work. So many rude teachers and administrators at this school, not to mention it is insanely disorganized and not safe for kids to grow. There are fights constantly, most go unreported because the teachers dont care enough to do anything about it. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILDS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, DO NOT ENROLL THEM HERE! I also suspect they have substandard teaching levels, as both kids have needed tutoring at this school but have not struggled before they transferred here.

They're really sweet and make sure the kids are well taken care of. They make sure the kids feel comfortable and are ok

they give what they see fit which isn't to much but just enough to keep the kids mind working

They're fair and if a student deserves to get in trouble they handle it the right way.

Awesome school. Wonderful teachers. Innovative teaching with teachers teaching 2 grade levels (not at the same time) so that they will move with their class. Wonderful leadership. Students seem to be happy and LOVE their school and their teachers. No bullying policy.
