We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My daughter has been pretty miserable there. The teachers lay on endless projects and work sheets without any consideration of other activities. This also makes being a parent miserable. The ipads belong in the dumpster not the classroom.

This school tries to keep quit on what happens behind closed doors. The fighting that happens on a daily bases to high. There isn't enough supervision. They need an officer to get these unruly children under control. Also the bullying act is not enforced.

They all work very hard and are some of the best teachers i’ve had. There are issues with educating students on bullying and equ...
