While we have encountered some fantastic teachers who genuinely care about their students, itÂ’s evident that not all staff share this commitment. We've faced several issues involving bullying and conflicts with other students, and it feels like these concerns have not been taken seriously by the principal or staff. It seems that incidents of bullying are often overlooked or swept under the rug, leaving students feeling unsupported and vulnerable.

The leadership at this school really cares about their students. There is an unusually large amount of leadership opportunities for students compared to most schools I've seen. The special ed staff is very caring.

Teachers just ignore the students words. They don't even listen to them properly. They have no pro.per guidance.

We've with this school for 3 years now. We had some rough patches with the principals as we went through a transition period without having a permanent one but this year Ms. Lockhart joined our school and things couldn't be better. All the teachers and staff seem to genuinely care about the students. Our PTA has struggled with community involvement but the members we do have work very hard to provide the school and students with a great experience.

I have a child in kindergarten here and her teacher is great - but the principal and pta involvement have been poor. The principal is new to the school this year and I've found him less than helpful. There is very poor communication about events and activities, many last minute notes in my kids backpack. I feel bad for the teachers who don't get appreciated because as a parent, I don't hear about teacher appreciation breakfast, etc, till the day before. I think this used to be a great school but my impression so far is poor.
