Passive administration, at best. They prefer to sweep chronic bullying under the rug, which is unacceptable. To make matters worse, a third grade teacher is no better than the bullies - just this past year, she broke 2 laws (refused to allow a child to eat school breakfast, and violatednthe privacy of another), and she's still there this year. It's a shame that the leaders of this institution place no value on integrity or accountability. If you have a choice, I would go somewhere else.

Leadership is always visible. In fact, rain or shine they are out at carpool EVERY morning. I have never seen th...

This is our first year, and we have experienced everything from bullying to bad language use by students. This school is totally racist. This is a white washed school. Diversity is not welcomed. If you are a person of color, get ready to have a rough time.

If your children are above average academically, they will obviously be able to succeed no matter where they go. I have 4 children and one struggles academically and is receiving no additional assistance whatsoever because she falls just at the top of the group that qualifies for assistance accordin...
