GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Our 4th year at this school and we have loved every teacher. However, the schools extra staff have been terrible and rude. My child has had the same bully for 3 years and nothing has been done, infact my daughter gets punished for standing up for her self as I will always teach her to do. This year the 4th graders are experiencing a horrible teacher change in the middle of the school year and I was told today that's because she had more of a friend relationship with the kids and the new principal believes it should be more teacher/student relation. That's why I'm making this post. These are elementary kids not high schoolers and I stand against her comment and judgement towards these poor kids.
