Great staff! The new principal in one year made such a difference! The administrative staff, vice principal, and principal made me feel so welcome to address any issues. They will be truly missedÂ…. 6 grade here we come!!! Woot woot!!!

Horrible! They don't do anything to stop bullying. They don't help children who are falling behind. My son is Autistic and they're NO help to him at all. I'm currently in the process of homeschooling my son because of these issues along with countless others....

This school allows kids to be bully.I don't care how much you complain.Nothing is done.It will be to late if someone hurt them selves. Behind being bully.I hate this school.I feel because it is a low income school the staff don't care about the children as much.

We've had our children go to 10/10 schools and we've gone to rock bottom, it's not always the case of the school teachers not trying, A successful school needs both family/parents and school to work together to be successful. If there isn't parents offering to help and just uses the school as a daycare, then it's left on the school to end up being parent, teacher and executive, which is not far the school or the teachers.

My children get a decent amount of homework but not too much that they feel flooded by the school. They have enough time to be kids and still get a sense of responsibility.

Everyday the teachers, My child has had for the last 3 years have reached out and let me know exactly what they're working on and if there are things at home that would help my child succeed. Parents just need to learn to get involved with their child and teachers love it.

Although I agree with this being needed to be held both in home and in the school. Teachers try there best although could always improve.

Leadership can always improve but Principle Cox has been an efficient leader the last 3 years. Promoting good behavior and trying to make efforts towards communicating with families where and when she can.

As a parent that has at least one child with a learning disability they have tried as much as they can to make sure that my child is successful, sometimes sending home extra work at home and approaching correct IEPs and planning groups.

Since one of my children has dealt with a disability, I mentioned my child was getting bullied to their teacher. The teacher took action and never heard much about it after that.

The principal of this school is a BULLY! Report incidents involving Panko to her boss immediately. Also send a copy to his boss, or nothing will be done about it. Her pet math teacher follows her direction. So if she singles out you or your child to pick on and they are in his class, he will follow her directions for harassment in the class.
