The school is easy to navigate for new students, and the teachers are kind and motivating. Although this school doesn’t build a great foundation for student’s futures, teachers make it easy to understand the topics they teach. Despite all positive feedback, there are problems regarding bullying. I’ve watched kids be humiliated and made fun of for their sense of humor, kids being discriminated for their sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion. I am a Buddhist and I’m scared to share this information watching how non christians are treated. Seriously, if you are sensitive, attend this school with caution. It’s not for the weak.

On a side note: Denia Reese (Superintendent) is by far the most disrespecting and disregarding of any concern I had. I brought this issue to her attention after MANY OF YEARS fighting with IEP's and teachers. She did not reply to me & what we were experiencing for so long. She sent my email to the school principle ( I could have done that !!) I wanted to bring this issue to higher authority not only for myself and child but, any others that may be in our shoes and hopefully make it easier road for them. However, the end result the teachers (for some) are trying to accommodate for the need (now, some did in the past but, wasn't on the right path, if so he may have done better then instead of now). So, do not bother wasting your time about your issue to the highest representative for Catoosa County because it is not her concern. Proven Fact.

I feel like this school does everything they can to give individualized learning necessities for each student. They try really hard to help each student learn while giving them the extra tools they need for their individual learning needs. Also *, the principal makes it a point to know each child by name and greets them each morning at the door!

My son had a lot of problems in kindergarten. His teacher really stepped up to get the help he needed. Finally insinuating he should have an IEP. I requested that, I was contacted within 2 hours of requesting. Had first meeting within 48 hours and evaluation completed within 12 school days. He has done FANTASTIC ever since. The school has played a pivotol roll in helping my son and I couldn't be more satisfied. Everyone is so nice and caring. The administration is like... Too good to be true, but here we are.
