Teachers are very rude. Many kids struggle with what they've been taught and never have been given any extra help. No fun activities. School contains many bad children, many students feel left out.
Staff goes way above and beyond to help kids!
Teachers are rude, students are ay behind on their learning. My daughter transfered and we discovered that this school is disappointing on so many levels. We wish we never moved to this district.
This is a great school. The Principal has made significant improvements in the sense of community and the teaching. They really seem to care about each student individually and offer fun family events, a cool cafe for special lunches, and more.
I am not very happy with my son's school since the principal was changed about 2 years ago. I feel there is very little communication given to parents. I'm not sure of the reason. I just know my son was not doing well in a few areas and there was no progress report or phone call home. I have been available anytime they have called in the past. I don't understand how a child can be under grade leval and a school is not obligated to contact parents. This is why I'm reasearching the school.
I have two kids in this school. This is a great school overall, the staff is friendly and willing to work and listen to you at any time. Very satisfied academic.
