3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter tells me that she's being bullied and no one seems to care at this school. Your staff needs to pay more attention to the students and if something doesn't seem right with a child, they need to ask that child and then do something about. No child should feel threatened when they walk into the school. That is the number one cause of drop outs. Some kids can't handle pressure from bullies and deal with their school work. All I ask is that someone start paying more attention to the signs of a bullied child and do something about it before something really bad happens to the children.Parent Review11y ago - Avery Middle

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers seem to really care for the students and quickly respond to all emails and phone calls about my child's grades or any concerns I have. Also, a lot of extra curricular activities for students to be involved with. They have a very active junior beta club that compete and have won at numerous leadership events. Their math counts and science olympiad teams have also been very successful. I don't think there is a better school in the area.Parent Review3y ago - Newland Elementary School
