I agree with what Marti Ramirez said. They are too hung up on test scores and are clueless on how to handle typical child behavior. Any little thing gets a referral. The principal is rude and talks down to the parents. If you are even a minute late (or what they consider late) they chide you on it .

I have very mixed emotions about this school. I fell that they are so wrapped up in little things that the children do instead of first talking to the children their way is to write a referral. Just last month for the first time did I attend a parent teacher meeting, and other schools have already had

Another thing is if the first grade teachers applied even half of the time they spend writting referral for silly reasons, apply that time to the studies our children would do much better on their test scores. These scores being taken on things that the teachers themselves have said they havent gone over with the children on! And they wait for the very last minute to let parents know about anything that is going on. Read less
