This school should not be open. First thing is the classes unite 2 grades to make one. My daughter is in a clas where they teach 2nd and 3rd graders together. The teachers are very unprofessional. It was the worst school I have ever seen. I had to pull my kids out of there.

No discipline for kinder or first graders, I saw many of them pushing each other. Classes were often 40 or more kids because teachers were sent on trips to other states so without any thoughts to the other classes or substitutes they shoved all the children together.
