This school is absolutely horrible! If I could give zero stars I would, the principals are absolutely awful even with one being "principle of the year" I'm not even sure how she gained this award to be honest. And im not even sure what the assistant principle does or why shes even there, shes useless. THEY ARE NOT FOR THE STUDENTS! They allowed my child to be bullied but was over looked cause the principle was friends with the other parent. Another was publicly embarrassed in the office infront of other staff by the principle cause my baby had an accident but bc my child's story didnt match the teacher my child was called a liar, property was thrown away after no warning, no call home, or not given back with a warning. For some they can't even get your kids on the right transportation after sending a note and calling to make sure they got the note... that was the 2nd time and that was still my child's fault. To top it off the principle almost hit my vehicle due to her speeding in the car line one morning then made a joke of it. We keep hoping that they will get rid of these principles and things get better but hopes lost. We may finish out the year but are strongly considering a transfer to city schools at this point.

"It’s a very inhospitable place. People are not friendly and you will feel like an outsider. The town is quite boring. If you’re looking for a quiet place to retire, I guess this would be an okay town. "
