GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I don't think the new K-8 principle knows what is expected of him as a principle. Parents are not notified about incidents until after they occur, violating parental rights. Students are given double jeopardy consequences for actions. School enables inappropriate behaviors that parents try to correct. Most teachers are appropriate with children and when children do well in school and don't have any special needs, they don't have a problem. Special needs children should have their needs met more adequately.
