The quality of work is fair, however the principal is a mess. There is not enough (or any) communication to the parents. We need to be involved to ensure these kids succeed. 5-8 year olds can't remember ( and shouldn;t have to) important information. It doesn't take long to write a memo and make copies....The principal is to blame for lack of parent involvement. Not very professional either.

This school needs lots of financial help- need new computers, school supplies, music instruments & possibly fix the inside of the building such as the bathroom (s) & cafeteria(s) for the kids-so they can have a better standard of education!!

I am the type of parent that enjoys being involved in my children's education. However, this school is not a big advocate of that. They seem to not appreciate parental involvement. They actually seem to do all they can to prevent the parents from even entering the building. Therefore, if I had to rate this school on a scale from 1 - 10 I would rate it a 4.

The academic program is of fair quality. However there is a lot left to be desired as far as parental involvement. The school puts up a barrier and does not make it easy for parents to be involved with their children's education.

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.
