Our experience with this school has been incredibly disappointing. As a military family, our children have attended multiple elementary schools, and this has been the most challenging by far.One of the biggest issues is the school’s location. The school is situated in a way that makes arrival and dismissal extremely difficult, and the lack of structure during drop off only adds to the problem. Carpool procedures are not consistently enforced, leading to unsafe and disorganized situations such as parents stopping in the middle of the line and allowing children to exit on the traffic side. With only a short drop off window for a school of this size, the process is often chaotic.Beyond logistics, we’ve also had concerns about the overall environment. On more than one occasion, our children have had personal items stolen from their backpacks during the school day. Additionally, we have found the support for students with special needs to be lacking and in our experience our children’s special needs teachers have not demonstrated the level of patience or support that students who need extra help deserve. The school claims to have a zero tolerance bullying policy, however there appears to be no consequences given to those who bully or behave poorly towards their classmates. We have never encountered this many challenges at a school before, and it has been very disheartening.
