The previous reviewer may be unaware of this, but there HAS indeed been a very high principal turnover - in the 4 years my children have attended, there have been 3 different principals. I agree also that the current principal has major 'control' issues (i.e. her way is the 'right' and only way). Overall, the teachers are fantastic, but the principal(s) - there are 2 right now - and office staff treat/talk to parents like children and with disrespect. There needs to be a significant culture change, moving toward a more positive, respectful environment. Support/resources for children with any kind of learning disability is dismal. It is a real struggle to get a meaningful IEP w/appropriate services, & get it implemented. Staff in this particular area are not adequately trained or knowledgeable.

This is a great school, I agree that the principal issue is a serious concern. The teachers are amazing and truly care about their students. The turnover isn't as frequent as the previous poster suggests but the current principal seems to have control issues and doesn't seem to care how parents feel about situations, just her need to be in control. Overall it is an amazing school.

Great school, highly recommended. Our son is motivated to learn, respects his teachers and enjoys going to school everyday. That says it all!

Sarah Adams is a great school with caring teachers. There is a great deal of parent involvement to help improve our community school.
