II really regret ever sending my kids to this school in matter of months their grades dropped drasticly some teachers care others just go to collect a paycheck the previous principal was horrible he never cared about the kids and was rude only a handful of people are good hopefully with this new principal that school gets the much needed help!!!

The school has some great teachers; the school sec. is wonderful and listens to concerns. In a very short time my child's reading was brought up to level. The teacher noticed the problem and took action. When it comes to problems the parent will have to stand their ground until it is resolved. Please remember what other children are learning first comes from home then the teachers, staff and other students have to deal with them but not tolerate the bulling, foul mouths and rude students.

Any school that chooses favorites, labels children, hangs up the phone on calm parents voicing a concern, tells a 'bully' when & who the other child is that went to the faculty for help, DO NOT have a childs best interest at hand. The only thing this school has going for them is the secretary & a hand full of teachers.

The teacher are interested in the children's needs and work with the parents on issues instead of letting them slide by.

Excellent school, teacher's will let you know when things are going wrong with your son or daughter. Also they will tell you if they are doing great. Keep up the good work!
