This school has gone down hill. It started off as a very good school but as my child continued to go to this school and the principals switched out it has went down hill from there. Kids fighting all the time not getting phone calls when my child had an injury. Unprofessional staff as well.

The teachers and administration are clearly dedicated to the student's educations. They are open and willing to listen. This has been an excellent experience. I...

He knows all the kids by name and gives them high-fives in the hallway each morning. I've be...
