Bridges does not have any consequences for physical violence toward students. This school is very unsafe. You may think it won't happen to your kid(s) but if it were to happen, it would be here. This is your sign to pick a different school. The lady who runs it should be in a mental institution.

I have two students at Bridges and both love it so much! We moved over from our neighborhood school in our town several years ago and have not looked back! Something I love about the school is the way they truly encourage family participation—they welcome parents/caregivers on their campus. The soci...
