This school was horrible for me. I am in High school now but when I went to that school, i was bullied so bad, and none of the teachers or staff did anything for me, even though i pleaded so many times for help from them. I moved from Connecticut to meet new people and make new friends, and hoped to find some here but instead I found something horrible.

My daughter & I moved all the way from WI and relocated to Temple, TX. My daughter started K this year at Scott, and we love the people and her teacher Mrs. Simcik. Our school is much older and quite small but with this win of money would help us out a lot!! Thank you for the consideration!
