This school just keeps disappointing me. They really aren't there to protect your kids, they care more about the staff then anything. I've seen staff shove kids at this school and reported it, but nothing got done. But once you bark at that specific staff member you are a problem and they threaten to kick you off campas and trespass you. It's ridiculous, the crap this staff gets away with and they don't punish the staff, the kids get punished because the staff gets away with it. OH and they DO NOT know how to handle children with mental disabilities, I'm getting calls EVERY DAY from them because my child did something, they always want me to come fix it. Or they complain the next day to me that she did something, I have straight up given up on this place. I would pull my kid out if she wasn't so good with her current teacher and I know a change would upset and cause more issues.

Great school. Teachers work hard to reach their students. Many go above and beyond to make connections and work with their students.

Homework varies based on the teacher. Some teachers have a no homework policy where others apply homework packets.

Most teachers at the school are experienced and truly care about the development and growth of their students.

Terrible, the leadership at the school are incompetent and condone an atmosphere of bullying and that children aren't held accountable for their actions. I can't wait until we no longer have to deal with this school

A horrible experience. They focus on standardized testing and pay little attention to students who might learn differently. Extra support is suggested on the sole basis of one test score. Children who are not defiant, but might still struggle, are overlooked. There is only one brief recess period in an overcrowded outside area. That is not enough for children to return to learning refreshed and leaves them exhausted and grumpy at the end of the day. Bullying has occurred, and it was addressed albeit the disciplinary action was not a strong enough response. My child has started the year as an optimistic, good student, but now feels defeated and unmotivated. We are very happy to be leaving soon
