I attended orientation on my own and left feeling genuinely hopeful about the school year. I loved the teacher and felt like she’d be a great fit for my daughter. One of my daughter’s closest friends was also placed in the same class, and the two of them get along so well and just work together naturally. When I came home and told my daughter, she was over the moon. She started jumping up and down, so excited not just about her friend but also to meet her new teacher.Then today, I get a call from the principal saying she is being pulled from that class. The reason? They “accidentally” placed too many kids in the room. On top of that, they brought up a conflict from last year with another student and decided it was best to move my child, not the other one.Why is my daughter the one being punished here? Why not give both kids a fresh start? Isn’t that what a new school year is supposed to be? Instead, I now have to sit her down and tell her that everything she was excited about is gone because the school made a mistake and chose to single her out.This is incredibly disappointing, and it shows a serious lack of consideration for how these decisions impact children emotionally. My daughter deserves better. All our kids do.

My daughters have had the worst experience of their lives at this school. The bullying is so terrible that my daughters come home crying everyday, begging me to homeschool them. There are definitely favorites at this school. My daughters have gone to councilors, principles, etc about the bullying and they do nothing. When my daughters finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to fight back they were the ones that got suspended. The principle was stupid enough to tell me that my daughters have gone to the guidance councilor about the bullying but that the councilor was not able to speak to the students in time before my daughter finally lost it and attacked a boy that has been bullying her since day one. I hate this school and I hope it gets shut down.

Teachers and Administrators provide a positive environment for every student! Willing to assist in all aspects of registering, education, college preparation, and those who take longer to learn are all treated equally! I love the vibe with the administrators, teachers and students!
