The racism here is RIDICULOUS!! Kids are constantly being called racial slurs by other kids. You would think that wouldn’t be an issue in 2025. The lack of actions this school takes in reference to bullying is insane. Melanie should be a shame!! Get your black and brown kids OUT of this school.

My son graduated from here in 2022 and 2 of my kids graduated in 2019 and 2020. There are a few excellent teachers, however the leadership and communication from the Principal is subpar. Keep in mind, my kids were not troublesome. One of my children received special services from the county and she came to me to make me aware that the specific special needs teacher she was working with was making unauthorized recordings of the students behavior and using it for a side business without permission. When I brought to the Principal's attention she was painstakingly slow to investigate and react and instead left it up to my child and I to provide the burden of proof before she finally investigated and discovered we were telling the truth. Another incident is when my son went to her with a legitimate issue that a teacher advised him to go to her about, she completely dismissed him! He came home and made me aware and it wasn't until I had to reach out to her that she actually took him seriously. Eventually she apologized to him with the excuse of her being so busy that she didn't realize she was being dismissive. There have been other experiences, which have formed my opinions as well, but there simply isn't enough time or space to elaborate.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with our child’s elementary school and honestly can’t understand why it’s rated as low as it is. The teachers and staff are dedicated, caring, and truly invested in student growth, both academically and emotionally. Communication with families is consistent and thoughtful, and the school community feels welcoming and inclusive.One of the most impressive things about this school is the variety of educational opportunities it offers. Our child has access to unique curriculum options, like Mandarin Chinese and American Sign Language, that are typically only found in one other school in the region. These kinds of programs are not only enriching but also prepare students for a more global and inclusive future. It’s rare to find this kind of cultural and linguistic exposure at the elementary level, and we’re so grateful our child is benefiting from it.Beyond academics, the school does a great job supporting social-emotional development, celebrating student success, and encouraging creativity and curiosity. From science fairs and cultural celebrations to reading challenges and service projects, there’s always something positive and engaging happening.This is a school that clearly puts students first and makes the most of its resources. It deserves more recognition for the strong foundation it provides and the diverse, forward-thinking opportunities it offers. We feel lucky to be part of this school community!
