GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
The schools main focus is to find something wrong With the children. If your child learns in a different style from the one they Choose ( center based core Curriculum) then they want to give them a IEP. They can't simply help find that child's learning style and gear the lessons In such manner. They would like each child to have an iep. More money for each Child in the iep. This allows the focus to drift Off of the teacher failing to teach our children and places that failure on our children! They don't involve parents in the class and lesson plan They would like parents in the dark so they can Easily blame the child for the lack of teaching ! I am doing everything I can to see that my child Never returns to this school! Horrible . They ignore Pediatricians test For LD's saying that a child is without any learning dissiablities And continue to push Their ideas on you until they hope you break Down. The children

"Neighborhood garage sale every year, everyone is friendly, helpful and a community spirit. There are events but I have not looked into it yet. I am an introvert and I’m not interested in a lot a lot or socializing. We have a rodeo every year and of course for each which is very important. And the how do you fare of course."
