I pulled my daughter out of this school. Leadership at this school is lacking. Personal experience with some teaching staff was extremely unprofessional. The principal is doing very little. I will NEVER send a child to that school. It is going downhill FAST!!
This school has seen quite a few changes in the last couple of years. They lost a very strong principal, and the new one has poor relations skills with both parents and staff, which has contributed to many leaving the school. With the boundary changes, the school demographics have also changed quite a bit, and the test scores continue to drop.
We have 2 children at this school (K & 2nd) and are very impressed with most of the skills they are learning. There is too much focus on AR testing, and I have witness my 2nd grade child's class be reprimanded about not keeping a 85% average. I think she does this often. Overall the teachers are nice and most will agree that there is too much focus on AR and not enough on the other academics. My 2nd grader complains about not having enough time to learn math and ask questions when she doesn't understand. The school has been open since 2002 and is seriously over crowded. Most parents pick-up or drop off students, so car pool line is awful.
This is our home school and we love it. The curriculum is challenging and the advanced tools are in all of the classrooms. The parent participation every day is what makes this such a special place. There is consistancy on every grade level with each teacher. The principal is assesable with any questions or concerns we may have. My husband and I are from the north so we were concerned about the school system. But with the system at this school we have been totally impressed. Everyone goes that extra mile.
