Read more Ex: telling a student to stop crying during the first few weeks of school because 'they are not in second grade anymore', closing a book on my childs fingers because they did not stop reading when supposed to.

Dorothy Smith Pullen Elementary School is awesome due to the teachers and parents! They are caring, dedicated and support each other to ensure the children's success. However, the staff turn-over rate is extremely high due to lack of support and expected leadership from principal.
