The principal is horrible and never takes time to meet with parents. The current principal is vindictive and unresponsive to the needs of both parents and students.

Pre-K through 4th grade were awesome! My children flourished and the teachers were awesome. But after the new principal came, teachers left and my children went on to 5-8th grade things changed drastically and there was no real support. No concern for what was happening or real resolutions.
