I am unimpressed. A major reason for moving here was for the supposedly great school system. However, I've found that inspite of a few good teachers the overall school is lackluster. Both kids (in elementary)have enough homework that our family time is spent harping on them to finish their school work. But the most infuriating part is the signs and lip service all over the school preaching an anti bullying stance but when incident does occur the staff seems both unconcerned and clueless as to react. We are seriously considering moving to a different school district.

If I could, I would give this school district no stars! It's a racist school district. They should be ashamed of themselves to call themselves educators!

My daughter gets great grades never gets into trouble but is begging me to leave the school. She is hurting emotionally Her heart has been crushed on more than 4 occasions by her teachers comments about other children she is always crying about how mean her teachers comments are in the classroom. She is being ridiculed and so are others and i am going to remove her now because her self esteem is to the floor. She qualifies for a free lunch but they want to give her water out of there rusty pipes instead of juice because i didn’t want her to purchase junk food because of her weight since she has a well documented milk allergy after calling all of the schools within a 20 mile radius, not one of them said they would deny her Juice with proper documentation of her allergy. But other children that she knows has milk allergies are served juice in front of her this has been going on for to long. She says she wants to cry every time she is in the lunch room. It makes my stomach sick to send her to this school everyday. This old school has asbestos and yellow water that comes out of drinking fountains and no real ventilation systems. Children with asthma will be aggravated in this atmosphere. When i came to pick her up because she had a bad headache i could smell a chemical that smelled like paint thinner that was very strong and i sent her to the car and i walked down to the tech room and seen no windows open at all and the smell was overwhelming i was sickened at there lack of responsibility not using chemicals properly in a well ventilated area. any child walking down that hall could have went into a full blown asthma attack. I kept my daughter out of school for a couple days because she had headaches and nausea here come find out that this was going on for a while
