From one parent to another.....please please do not send you children to this school. My son has dyslexia and has a hard time reading. This school has not helped him one bit. I brought in the report from his Doctor stating my son's reading disability and what he needs from the school to get him reading like he should, and the teachers has not obeyed the doctor's orders. The child study team is a joke. The teachers don't even go by what the child study team report says. Children in this school are getting left back more than once. I am trying my hardest to buy a house and get my precious kids out of here. My son got beat up several times from other kids. The board of education states that I can not put him in another school because this school is in our district.

i have two children in this school....i have had problems from the start...i've been trying to get my oldest daughter tested by the child study team for a while now...she is two grades behind...but to them thats ok.....this school is failing our precious children....what chance will they have with out an education?.....there are some very good caring teachers that want our children to succeed...then there are those that just want a pay check.... in my opinion,,,,this is not a good school... from a very concerned parent!
