GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My children have had very bad experiences at this school. They have fallen through the cracks. One of my children is six behind grade level due to complete ineptness from the special education department, and despite years of me begging the school to improve they do not make any changes. Bullying is a constant problem, supposedly there is a no bullying policy but nothing is actually done. Going to the school has traumatized my children and destroyed their self-esteem. Moving to this school district was the biggest mistake of my life, I feel like it has not only ruined my children's childhoods, but very likely has taken their futures away as well. Many teachers appear friendly and seem to care about the kids, but they continue to be unsuccessful in their teaching and to turn a blind eye to bullying. If you have a child that is popular and does not have any learning differences they may do okay. If you have a child like mine that has learning disabilities, your child's needs will not be met. It's not just my kids, I know many other parents whose kids are in the same situation.
