The school got involved with my kids' disabilities and really have helped them improve academically and socially. They have stepped it up and do not allow kids to pick on my kids. My daughter repeated kindergarten and the teacher that had her really worked with her and by conferences she could read and write! I love this school and the staff!!

Needs better communication between teacher and parent.Hard to get info.from teachers w/out teachers being defensive than to help solve any problems.Principal doed not like to get involved.Kids rarely get homework.Don't know what they are learning.There is no goals set or monitored.Its up to children to do their work on thier own.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
