This school has some phenomenal teachers, and it has some human beings who should never be allowed to even volunteer in a classroom. My child has loved school and grown steadily intellectually for two years at this school, asking us incessantly over breaks, “Is there school tomorrow?” That all changed when he entered 1st grade into a lazy, red, bigoted teacher who has a history of mistreatment of boys and constantly giving busy work that had already been learned in kindergarten. My child now makes statements like, “I am a failure” and “I am bad at math.” This is a first-grade child! Other local educators refuse to allow their child to enter her classroom. The brand-new principal is more concerned with his ego than the best interest of the students and defends her regardless of the evidence showing regression. This school has burned out teachers sprinkled throughout and, as of this year, a burned-out high school teacher as a principal. No child deserves to be emotionally abused and have their education stolen from them through a plethora of worksheets that belong in the previous grade. Who wants to roll the dice on their child’s education or emotional wellbeing?

This school is not preparing students for college or gainful employment after graduation. The teachers spend too much time pumping up students egos and relying on youtube for actual lesson teaching. Requests to contact teachers or administrators are returned in weeks, months or not at all. The school's main focus unfortunately is sports and extracurricular activities. Math, Sciences, and other core academic subjects take a back seat.

Extremely disappointed with this school. Our child’s teacher was completely unprepared and seemed overwhelmed every day. Communication was poor, lessons lacked structure, and concerns were ignored. Even worse, the principal showed little to no oversight or accountability. It feels like nobody is making sure students are actually getting the education and support they deserve.

awful school I do not like this school
