GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I have read some reviews about the school. I am a parent that takes part in school activities and wants to know what happens at this school. My child has been in this school since pre-K. The teachers I have encountered have been nice and educated. I believe if more parents take part in there childs education things would be better. Some.......I mean some not all parents use schools as a day care. The teachers and principles love what they do, this may fall short on some. I saw the bad reviews has stars by them on this site. The good reviews don't get any stars. I am happy with this school. Like all things in life you will encounter problems. If so go to the one in charge and try to work them out. They are making the best of the situation with the funds they have to work with.. I just wish more parents would take part in school functions. I work full time like everyone else. I Love my child and I will make sure I am there whenever I am needed. Education is a priority in my childs life. I am 100% behind this school. Our children is our future. Lets help make it the best. May GOD Bless all that read this.

"Watch children and pets because of fast cars on rural higbways...also bus areas with parental supervision...country air good...watch for wild creatures ie. deer, snakes, owls, skunks, pigs, ferrel dogs...utilities are fair cost to low, but have to invest in your own utilities, septic, gas etc...."
