My son attended here for half of his 2nd grade school year then I pulled him after he had been bullied for over a week and the staff did not tell me. I informed them of what was happening but my son was too scared to be honest to the counselor. His teacher was kind and put in a lot of effort with him but the lack of awareness and parent communication from the rest of the staff left my son at risk of physical harm.

My daughter just started here for 4th grade and she has Mr. Maxwell. So far I am pleased. He is very informative and emails regularly giving updates of what exactly is going on with your children. I love that he applies the "It takes a village" quote because that's truly important in our house (education). I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has to offer us.
