This school is absolutely careless and non knowledgeable to be caring for children. I will NEVER recommend this school as long as it's standing. My kids have NEVER experienced such bullying and discrimination from not only children but also from staff and transportation. My children will never again...

The COVID Shot does not protect against infection or transmission and there is no evidence that it ever did.

This campus is filled with some of the hardest working educators I have ever met. The students are faced with adversity but do not let that get in their way of achieving success.

9/4/2015

I removed my child the first week. The other children in the class seemed to be running the class, swearing at the teacher. I walked in and there were 4 children sitting under the table with the computers on it, playing with the wires and refusing to come out.
