Homework is standards-based and always reflects what was taught in class. It is not held against the child if the homework isn't completed, as the staff understands that we all have a lot going on outside of school.

Teachers voluntarily tutor before and after school, attend students' personal activities, and are constantly going above and beyond what is expected. I've never experienced a more dedicated, passionate staff!

The teachers and staff set good examples with high expectations and support students to rise to meet them. The House System encourages things like greeting adults, shaking hands, and cleaning up after yourself.

The principal is fair and effective. When you have a concern, she truly listens and does what she can to correct it. A follow-up is always coming with a result.

The special education process is treated with dignity and respect. Multiple, researched-based interventions are required before students are evaluated to ensure equity. If identified, the special education teachers do everything they can to help students become familiar with their accommodations and be successful.

Students identified as gifted are not given the same amount of attention, though. Some teachers are really good at differentiating, but others just give more work.

The staff encourages positive interactions and steps in when they become aware of bullying. It is impossible for teachers to know everything that happens, especially in places like the cafeteria and playground where students are more social.

We've had a lot of problems here. We're trying to move to a better school district.

Horrible when it comes to problems getting handle right, lies occurs from office and some teachers, need new person running the school, few unprofessionals who shouldn't be working there, bad attitudes, need better support, and they need to get alot of adjustments done with some of the faculties there. Some of the teachers are good teachers and help and really care for their students. Few make sure they do all they can to make sure their students get all the help they can offer to ensure the students pass and do well.
