GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
This school has issues with parents voicing there concerns for there students, the staff would rather send students home and not get learning done because they don’t have the support a kid needs if this was the case they should send multiple kids home not just one! Once we stood up for are student they trespassed one parent! Over making sure a student gets there learning they need!!! Steer clear of this school they do not support kids like they need to
