The few teachers who keep the school from getting an overall five-star rating are still adequate to above average and outperform peers from other districts similarly situated. Most of the teachers are excellent, incredibly dedicated professionals, especially the ones in the lower middle grades. The Principal is A-1 and deals wonderfully with important issues: academic achievement, campus safety, individual attention to each and every student, encouraging good citizenship, non-bullying, respecting diversity, and social and activities inclusion of special needs students.The maintenance/janitorial employees are among the best you will find in any school. They go above and beyond their job requirements, know every student in the school by name and genuinely care about them. It shows.This school is in a low income area and does an excellent job within its limited resources. If it were better funded, there is no telling what it could achieve.

Teachers make fun of children on their social media accounts

Like most small schools, the ex-mean girls run most of the volunteer activities. It s the only way they can get away with continuing to bully. The only difference here is the way the administration and coaches buy into it and allow it to flourish. So don t plan on getting too involved in your child s school activities unless you yourself have been here since elementary school. Very hostile and unfriendly overall.
