It’s a decent basic school, and the teachers are good overall. Unfortunately, the principal is awful — always wearing a fake smile, rarely helpful, and never around when needed. And if your child has an IEP, don’t expect any support.Also, if your child needs emotional support, forget about it. There’s only one therapist, and she’s constantly overwhelmed. We’ve made countless requests over many years, and the support the child receives is minimal and completely ineffective.

My experience at this school has been deeply disappointing. Student behavior presents significant challenges, including frequent classroom disruptions, disrespect toward staff, inappropriate language, conflicts between students, and a lack of respect for personal boundaries. These issues often make it difficult to maintain a productive learning environment.In my experience, behavior interventions are not consistently supported outside of school, which can limit their effectiveness. As a result, teachers spend a considerable amount of time addressing behavioral concerns rather than focusing on instruction.Academically, many students require substantial support, and the pace of instruction is often slower than expected in order to meet students' needs and manage classroom behavior. While there are dedicated staff members working hard to support students, the overall environment has not been conducive to effective teaching and learning.Based on my experience, I would not recommend this school to prospective teachers or families seeking a strong academic and behavioral culture.

i went to this school and when i tell you the faculty could care less than they do, i swear by it. they truly are worried more about their paychecks than the well beings of the students and as a student who was going through SO much it was so exhausting to be in this learning environment. PLEASE ENROLL YOUR KIDS SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!!
