This used to be a great school some few years back. My 3 oldest kids have attended this school some sense kinder but now I cant wait for my son to finish this school year so I can move him to another school. My son has gone through some bad things in this school and things dont ever get resolve like their supposed to. Just so dissappointed with how the school has being working the past couple of years.
