Wow, just pause for a moment to read these reviews. Terrible grammar and the majority are expressing a very narrow scope. My grandaughter has been here two years and is struggling in math and reading. When my daughter expressed her concern over the struggles, the teacher told her " that's ok, there are many adults who cannot spell". Are you serious? A child should not struggle to no avail without assistance. Self image and confidence are battered and this is a terrible start. I am moving my family from this area so that my grandchildren can achieve their potential, without having to be "labeled" which by the way is not acceptable. Bullying is a sign of weakness and those who hold positions of authority and fail to act or hold those accountable with such behavior are the most cuplable. Shame on this school for making small town midwestern towns look really bad!
