This school is a joke all around. First they cancelled school when my daughter was in Kindergarden due to a gas leak and dropped her off at my house ALONE and didn't call. When that I called to complain they stated that I needed to sign up online to get notifications, well that would of been nice to know earlier. Now my daughter is in 1st grade I was concerned about her progressed reports and set a meeting. They had nothing positive to say and made my daughter sound like she had a mental condition. Grr I hate this school and if you want your child to be someone and get a good education don't go here because they don't help children that go behind. And if your child get unfocused they will ask you to put them on drugs for ADHD
