When my son first started school, we saw that this school had the best reviews; however, as he went through the first two years of school we found out that this school was NOT it. My son had been constantly bullied his first year and would come home crying and complaining about how his classmate would hurt him on purpose and would continue to do so every day. We talked to the teacher and principal and said there was nothing they could do. My son struggled to pay attention (at home as well, so we knew of the issue) and tried talking to counselors and principals to help further help him in learning to which they did not get back on until the next school year. For the teachers, it was hit or miss, some teachers we did not get along well with while others we did when it came to my son's education. It seems like there was a constant issue with communication with the admin and we ultimately decided to transfer schools.

Above and beyond!! It’s like a little warm family!! Everyone cares!!! Love it!

As far as we have been enrolled at this school for 4 months now and not only have we not had any help when asked but they also allowed my 1st grader to get on a random bus unknowingly and weren’t able to inform me of her whereabouts for over an hour. On the teacher note I have asked and asked for ways to help her academically for the teachers to ignore me or reply hours or days later we’ll past bed time or time to be able to help her. We bring issues and problems up to the teacher to just be brushed aside. My child is made to feel like she isn’t cared for. She’s complained of headaches to be told “well I don’t know what to do for you” she complained about other kids being mean to be told “well?” She’s came home telling me she got hurt at school and they did nothing for her. My child has a problem holding her attention and we’ve talked to the teachers on ways to help to just get told “tell her to pay attention” …like we haven’t tried that already? We’ve tried talking to the teachers about her anxiety over being rushed to just continue to hear her cry about how the teachers are rushing her and won’t help her. On top of it I’ve never been allowed in the school or even met these teachers face to face so all in all our experience at this school in as little as 4 months has been nothing but heartbreaking as a parent for my FIRST grader to have to go through.

Officer Myers touched me as a kid

Our son just finished his kindergarten year and he loved it and his teacher was amazing!!

The staff are rude and the principal one is terrible.
