This school is horrible. I wish I was able to pull my child from it but unfortunately it is not an option. The communication is non exisistent. We never even laid eyes on the 2nd grade teacher until awards ceremony and was never able to reach them. Barely hear from the one now or others in the past....

He entered 2nd grade a bit behind in reading and ended 3rd grade as a top reading and math student. The school welcomes family before...

The school had little to no "social emotional support" for students and failed to support students who were falling behind...
