This school is terrible the kids dont feel safe anymore and these people that are teaching are now bullying students

We have been extremely disappointed with this school and feel like our children have wasted an entire year of their education. Our family came from an excellent elementary school in eastern NC and have been shocked by the drastic difference in the quality of education. This school is filled with closed minded locals who can't see anything beyond what they have always done. They are not welcoming and are rude to new people at the school. The children have only a small chance to talk at the end of lunch. It is almost eerie to walk into a cafeteria filled with small children and hear silence. The kids have to walk laps at recess because there is nothing for the kids to play on or with. The office staff is very frustrating. When you go to check your child out of school, they question why you are taking them out. It is my right as a parent to check my child out of school for whatever reason. I should not have to justify my reason to a school secretary. One of our children has a wasp allergy, if the assistant is taking the class outside, she makes our daughter stay inside. She is not comfortable carrying and administering an EpiPen. We are not okay with our child not being allowed outside with her class. Overall, the school is disorganized, filled with unhappy teachers and a principal who lets the PTO and local cliques control the school. We are not returning to this school next year.
