This school strives to exclude parents at all cost, they criticize children and punish them for situations completely out of the child's control. They do not value parent input. The school takes every opportunity they can find to make children feel sad and unwanted.

Some of the teachers here are really good. The ones that are bad are really bad. Some of the teachers put the children down. They say mean things to hurt the children. When issues are presented to the principal they are ignored. The school claim they care for thier students but that is not the case....
