Would not recommend this school to anyone with special education students. The school/school board only cares about their image. Not about protecting the kids. Even if that means from the teachers or other students.

The Teachers my son had were great with sending assignments home on Monday to be completed throughout the week and brought back Friday. A great approach and much less stress then nightly assignments.

Classroom sizes are too large, many of the teachers are at an "elementary" level themselves.

No longer great. When we moved here, the school was rated high 9/10... In two short years 4/10. My son went from thriving (1st grade) to struggling (3rd grade)- mostly in math and reading. If you look at overall schools scores they went from 90s to 60-70s. When I voiced my concerns about my his challenges, I was told he doesn't qualify for services because he is getting passing grades. Just skimming by is the approach they take to getting kids though and it is UNACCEPTABLE!

I love the warm staff there. I would encourage all of my friends to place their kids there.

Also the classrooms are overfull and there are too many out of zone students. I live on beach road therefore making me INZONE so i should not have had to deal with so many other students.
