One time a kid got stabbed in the neck with a pencil and the teachers just ignored it. Great.

My first child went here and it wasn't too bad. 4 years later 90% of the teachers had left and been replaced due to poor leadership from the principal and it definitely shows. Hard to have a great school when it is overcrowded and the teachers won't stay.

The leadership at this school is absolutely horrible The Principle needs to resign or be replaced. Avoid this school at all costs.
