I grew up in this district, it wasn't great 10 years ago and from my daughters experience, it's only gotten worse. My daughter has received death threats, which are illegal themselves. The kid also threatened a school shooting at the same time. Schools suspended the kid and had the resource officer investigate. The police said that since the weapons in the kids home weren't easily accessed, it wasn't a credible threat. So a kid threatens another child's life, threatens to shoot the school up so he could get her friends too and there are weapons in the house but the school brushed it off with a weeks suspension and put him right back in classes with the kids he had threatened like it was nothing. Now she lives in fear constantly but thee school no longer cares. Kids are smart, if he wanted to he could figure out codes and get keys. I knew the code to my dad's gun safe at that age because he was supposed to start taking me hunting with him. Just because it's harder to get to the guns doesn't mean its impossible. Now we wait everyday as this child and his friends constantly bully my kid and her friends praying he doesn't decide to take it further.

Truly awful school, they silence their google reviews in an attempt to silence any criticism. Many of my peers including me have had to unfortunately resort to transferring schools our final year to get out of the grueling, unrealistic expectations they have set for their final project. Not all, but some teachers and staff clearly have favorites and make no attempt to hide it. Although this school is very bad now, I do have hope that it will improve because the old principal is finally gone and is being replaced by someone much better that makes an effort to connect with his students.

Excellent elementary school. Highly recommend! If you’re new to the area, do your research. We have had a fantastic experience here!
