We are unhappy with this school. The front office staff wasn't informative or welcoming. The teachers my daughter has dealt with have unfairly reprimanded her or didn't meet the needs of my daughter. I agree with the other post, they seem to focus more on discipline than teaching. Silent lunches are one of the ways the children are punished. Both of our kids will not be attending this school after the year is up.

Hmmm, where to begin. I have been involved with this school for one year. The school leadership is weak which creates many problems. The office staff are a barrier denying access to the principal or other potentially helpful administrators. As previously mentioned, they treat parents as if we are ignorant or bothersome. The two teachers my daughter has had have been great. I see and hear of many wonderful and dedicated teachers. I definitely get the feeling that keeping the kids 'under control' is a huge focus here. The school has had several principal changes in the past few years and is in the process again at this time. The entire school system reassigns kids every year. The sum total of all of this constant change is a weak school with a remnant of a PTA that struggles to recreate itself every year.

This is a good school. My child is happy and is in with a good group of kids. The teachers and administration work hard to meet the needs of everyone.

This school is so overcrowded! Its ridiculous! Most of the time is spent reprimanding kids rather than learning! My kids will not be going back next year. I'm putting them in private school. I think its sad that in order for our kids to get a good education we have to pay for private school on top of paying our taxes for public school! Makes me sick.
