As a parent AND a substitute teacher at this school I was able to see first hand how the teachers and administration handle things on a day to day basis. Everybody who works here is amazing. Each teacher has their own unique style and an incredible amount of patience. They also share tips with the substitutes and each other to better serve the community. Their arts, music, and gym classes are awesome. They have enrichment classes that serve the gifted students as well as intervention classes to help those who are behind. The best part is that they have creative incentives to encourage good citizenship and behavior. Go Tigers!

so bad. there's fights alot. the only good thing is the band

My son has only been going to Kindergarten for about a month and a half but this school has already helped so much! He speaks more clearly, he's starting to read, his writing is going great, his attitude and respect has improved exponentially. I'm very proud of him and what his teacher and this school have done for him thus far.

I was a student at this school last year and it was actual hell. They've clearly never dealt with mentally ill kids and it shows, and when they do they make the situation worse then never speak on it again. Everyday there is so repetitive and it feels like pain. I don't recommend it whatsoever. I feel so bad for future or current students there.

In my experience, the school permits staff (teachers & principals) to bully & intimidate students. This appears to be supported by the principal, Ryan Thomas. Staff is also allowed to lie to students & parents. Ryan Thomas admits that he will always take the teachers side regardless of what students say & even refuses to investigate reported issues with staff. This is not a good environment for students.
