GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
This is the absolute worse school I have ever put my kids in. They were quickly disenrolled. All staff from the principal on down are unprofessional and do not care. The school is old, dirty and rundown. For it to be an elementary school they show no excitement, there's no decorum and no motivation. The teachers are uneducated. My kindergartner has a teacher assistant for a teacher. My 5th grader was bullied on and harassed by his teacher. My child was let out of the school by himself with no parent or adult present. They need to close this school down.
