This is the most positive and student-focused school I have ever had the privilege of working at. The Principal is very supportive and she really cares about the students. The comment about needing a lawyer to check out your child makes me laugh, because we are very tight about security and student-safety.

This school year really has been a rude awakening for most parents. When parents are asked to participate they are rudely turned away. It has been seen more than once the principal talking down very rudely to the parents and staff. Having principal change was not good for our children in any way.
... Read more You actually seen and felt the sincerity from the past principal. Was always invited to get involved with open arms and recieved a warm thank you. Never rudely spoken too! As for the academics the teachers teach from their hearts just communication with parents make it suffer. Some teachers actually make you feel very uncomfortable to be there. I hope this improves before my next child enters this school. Read less
