Hello, the school is overall very nice, staff are ok, could be more patient and simply nicer to parents and students. Some teachers are excellent and other teachers should not even be there. The school needs to improve in checking in on the teaching methods of the teachers, and the over all behavior to the students. Thank you

Both my son and daughter went to school at Griffiths. There is a tremendous amount of bullying. I strongly regret sending my kids to Griffiths.
