I love this school and the teachers I give this school five stars so do my kids.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted August 20, 2003

it has been my experience that the parents have no say and cannot get any cooperation from the principal. a parent cannot request anything for his child. just take what they give you and be happy. this has to change.
