My son has been in this school for the past 3 yrs. He had some challenges when we moved here.

Principal is excellent; she knows the students by name, is caring and sincere about wanting to help. The principal has poor skills; rarely communicates with parents, execept for obligatory parent meetings, and does not at all seem interested in listening or making change.

It is very disorganized from top to bottom. From day one, the school lacks any structure, professionalism and parents are shoved out the door from day one. Read less
