This school was good for my kids at first but they let bullies get away with everything. So many times we have been dealing with bullying by the same students and they just get told to get along and separate. The bullies kept going and going threatening my kids , making fun of them , even far as to coming to my house trying to jump my kids . Nothing was done no parents called nothing . They even failed to tell me about incidents that had happened while at school . Girls saying they will beat my daughter to death yet my daughter was the one held down by staff . No call about it or nothing . Kids at this school get away with bullying . The staff apparently doesn’t know what type of mental effect that has on a child . My kid has to do counseling now to avoid suicidal thoughts . Same kids that’s been bullies their for years treating other kids like crap and getting a slap on the wrist with no parents called . Suspension or something could have been done but nothing happened. Now i got therapy for my children they got to attend and constantly having to watch out my door to make sure kids don’t destroy my property. Telling these staff members that my kid was bullied was a mistake . Instead they just informed the bully and the bully got worse

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.
