This use to be a very parent friendly school. Now your not really even allowed in the school. How are you suppose to support and help your child enjoy their educational experience if you're not invited to do so. Removing my child from this depressing environment.

"Beautiful area. High end homes going cheap. Southern part of lake very clean, cleaner than northern part. Very low crime area but remote. 25 minutes to a Wal-mart. "
