First day of school for 2025 ended in chaos. My 6 year old daughter was missing for over an hour on a school bus that she should not be assigned to because the bus stop was a mile away from my home, but that wasn’t the issue. The issue was that the principal who has been a principal there for a very long time She was the principal when my son who is 20 years old was at Cornwell’s. She did not know where my daughter was and I know this because she tried to get me to leave the school numerous times to go to a bus stop with other parents who were waiting for their kindergarten children and then she told me to go home that the bus will drop my daughter off at home. The bus finally brought my child and six other children to the school not to a bus stop not to my house to the school not once did the principal say that the bus would be coming back to the school I have never had an issue until now, but this is the biggest issue that you could have is not knowing where your child is. She also refused me communication with the bus driver and my daughter while she’s supposedly was indirect contact with someone who knew her location. I understand the first day of school can be hectic and buses run late for it to go over an hour and for her to be so nonchalant about the issue and to lie about the location of where my daughter would be and to send away parents back to bus stops and houses, knowing that the bus or not knowing that the bus would be showing up shortly back to the school is irresponsible and negligent of her I have not received an apology. I have not received anything from the school and I am not sending my daughter back until someone tells me what happened that day and how it will be fixed moving forward. I did talk to the superintendent, the police department and the mayor today is Thursday. This happened Monday. I hope that they get it together and do better for the children that we trust with them.

The school has offered a rigorous program (Honors and AP Level). The school also has many after school activities and sports for students to get involved in. The staff has a great relationship with the students and offers many opportunities for students to be involved in the non academic community. The climate is diverse and there is something for everyone to be involved in. Overall, we have been extremely happy.

Pretty good school overall. Although there are some things that should be fixed (cough) the bathrooms. The learning environment is perfect for public education. The use of programs like Schoology and Google Docs really helps us adapt to a new 21st century learning environment. The Chromebooks are great but they're annoying to carry around and if you lose your charger, good luck. Other than that, I recommend enrolling here if you recently moved to Bensalem.
