8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe haven't been here long enough to know really what it is like. I do know that there is a very rude lady in the office, it is her rolling of the eyes and the way she looks over at the other ladies in the office when I do things such as drop off a pizza. Also recently I had contact with one of the computer teachers in there office wanting a real quick private meeting (3-5 min). I was met with rudeness in the middle of the office! Oh My! I introduced myself and was told "Congratulations". and an "I have to go to work" (apparently a job after school) Just a very rude man. My son does say the testing is dumbed down in comparison to his other school. I will write more next year and surly give them great marks if they deserve it. I believe it is very important for teachers and parents to communicate if need be and in a very positive way. I have not yet seen this hear at this school and it does bring up some concerns.Parent Review11y ago
