I'm not aware of the issues the other commenters are calling out. It's terrible if there is a child that is experiencing bullying.Our daughter is thriving here both academically and socially. The community is great as are the staff.

Insane amount of bullying teachers and principals do nothing at this school terrible. Also, it’s been in the news for how racist the children are here and how little effort is put out.
