The school would like the parents to be completely involved. Which is great but it's the only good thing about the school. Sure, some of the teachers are great and they love teaching and they're great with the kids. I wish that would fall into the administrations category as well. But my spouse and I have been fighting with the administrations since the moment our child step foot in school. My child has ADHD and at the beginning of the school year did not have a formal diagnosis. He struggled with both his teachers and the other students and they administration office. We finally got him moved to a new classroom. Which only helped a little bit. It wasn't until we threatened to take legal action that the school finally listened to My cries for an IEP. But then we were told it's not even going to start till next year. Because it takes about 6 months to get started. But if they would have listened to me at the beginning of the school year, he would already be set. My son also has a problem with eloping. He has ADHD and very low impulse control. There have been several occasions where his teacher told us they couldn't find him until they got outside. Which to me screams negligence because there are at least 60 adults in that school... Every single classroom has at least one adult in it and he has to walk by at least a dozen of those classrooms to get outside. They have a walking field trip coming up for the kindergarten class and the principal called me personally to tell me that her staff cannot control him by themselves. So unless one of us goes, he's not allowed. Which is I'm pretty sure a legal gray area because he's got a disability and they're singling him out.His teacher is wonderful and she has been very patient with him but seriously the whole administration staff should be replaced with people who actually like children and like their jobs. Cuz the only thing I can think of is the administration must really hate their jobs for us to have that many issues with them.

Just really disappointing test scores, not sure how a school where 2/3 to 3/4 or kids are failing at grade level can be rated "7/10". Our friends pulled their kids from this school after one year, disappointed in the lack of parent involvement and worried how years of this would impact their kids education and experience, being influenced by their peers. Our son is in this district and we'll either have to move or bite the bullet on private school it looks like.

its cool and pretty nice if your kid has trouble making friends don't go here
