this school was terrible my son was there for kindergarten and was getting beaten up on the playground where no teacher seemed to be able to see what was going on. He told me they were all sitting around talking during recess. he was scared to go to school and would come home crying and not even know why he was crying. He was stressed out and I had talks and emails with his teacher and the principal and nothing was really being solved so we took him out of this school.

"There are other dogs around, all over. So when one barks, they all do. They’re friendly most of the time though, but I guess your dog would pull when walking? I don’t know. I’m sure everything will be great! "
