Bullying is a huge problem at this school. My student is excited about learning but is constantly distracted in the classroom by bullying and disruptive students. I do believe that the teachers care and are doing their best but are significantly compromised by the lack of discipline in the classroom. I do not believe the school supports mental health and well being of the students as they allow the bullying behavior to continue and escalate. I’ve watched my student that loved school become depressed and anxious.

Before I start this, just know we where military and have been in multiple schools over the last 19years.My kids have all fell behind at this school. The school picks which kids get in trouble, for the same kinds of offense. My one child has been bullied many times with nothing happening. While another has gotten in trouble for bullying their bullies. Make it make sense. School offers little to nothing as way as parents to be involved. And at times can be hard to get answers to things. Also have had issues with other kids using my kids lunch account to buy meals and then have to call the school to try and get it refund to my kids account. Lack of communication from bus office and getting an answer is impossible, if you can even get ahold of someone. Call backs are virtually none existing. Unless call a bunch of times.

Amazing school. The principal is fantastic, and we love the teachers. The only teacher I encountered there, that's insanely rude is Amber Pitts. Everyone else is great.
