Honestly, this is probably one of the worst schools. I knew a girl that got chased by a group of boys and were taking pictures of her, basically harassing her even as she told them multiple times VERY NICELY that she was already dating someone and rejected the boys on four seperate days. The boys also contacted one of her friends and started spamming her with calls and texts talking about how they "loved and hated" the other girl. She later took it to the principal and instead of doing anything they changed the subject to her outfit and how she was dressed inappropriately (it was school dress code, she had a jacket on that was not fitting, shorts, with legging underneath the shorts.) There has been no action taken or even any conformation they would do something about it. They preach "if you see something say something, but do nothing to protect their students.

As a parent, I’m very disappointed with how this school has handled my child’s evaluation process. Despite early concerns being raised, doctors requests, there was a lack of urgency and follow through. They did everything last minute, which made the process stressful and left me feeling like my child’s needs were not being prioritized.Communication could also be improved, as I had to follow up myself instead of being kept informed. For families with children who need additional support, timely evaluations and clear communication are extremely important. As an elementary school this is not acceptable.

Most of the students appear to ride the bus to school. It seems to be rich in diversity from the school’s website and what I see. Principal Mitchell sends weekly videos to provide a view into what is happening and this is my child’s first principal that regularly communicates school grade goals. I may not understand but I can tell she wants to increase. The kids appear to be in uniform. I know my child has used the cool down room.One of the things that stands out is all academic field trips are paid for by title I versus us having to pay.
