4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has been there for a few years and this will be her last year. Bullying is an everyday issue and when my child tries to talk to an adult it is often times swept under the rug. The principal is so worried about being everyone's friend and not making a student feel bad that there is no discipline in this school. My child has been assaulted by another student while they were reading a book and the only thing that happened was a meeting with the parents, my child is told that if she sees something to say something but when she does she is often told that is tattle tailing and to move along, very confusing as a student and a parent. I can't wait for my child to not be in this school any longer.Parent Review2y ago - Lamoille Uhsd #18
