Kindergarten through fifth grade was pretty good. Not going to count it against the school for Covid procedures, even though that was extremely miserable. However, sixth grade is an absolute nightmare! This is the year where they try to get the students prepared for middle school. What does that mean? That means that the kids are responsible for carrying around all their schoolwork and their backpack all day every day in folders in our responsible for keeping everything organized and turned in on time. I definitely support this! However, the lack of transparency to the students and to the parents for knowing what assignments are being given out, and when they are due is non existent. My son has been struggling all year to keep his grades above an F, which is never like him throughout all the years he’s been attending the school. To get me wrong, I have held my son accountable for his lack of accountability, talking to friends, simply not staying on task, but when I’m trying to work very closely with the teachers, it’s like pulling teeth to get answers from them. It is literally becoming a second full-time job trying to stay on top of everything school related on top of my regular 9 to 5. My son is confused, frustrated, to the point where he is in tears almost every night, and I can’t get a straight answer from any of the sixth grade teachers to figure out what we need to do.

The amount of fights I have heard about are unbelievable. The fact that this school brushes bullying off like it's some excuse is awful. I seen so many kids get harmed from just attending to this school. Ever since I seen my child go to this school, they have been less engaged and they are now having eating problems because they are too stressed about being perfect just so they could meet the level that the teachers want them to be. They treat them horribly. An another reason why this school is terrible, is that ever since my kid transferred here, they started throwing up almost daily from the lunches here.

I don't think I could ever say enough to convey how wonderful this school and its staff truly are. My son spent about 6 months transitioning from a school the genuinely did not care. He's now thriving and doing so well. All the staff have been a true wonder for me. Their intervention program is truly amazing. They always answer any questions I have and they answer them thoroughly. When his enrollment was in question due to us having to move out of district they helped make sure he could stay. All I have to do is provide transportation. Truly amazing.

do not recommend this school. The office is extremely disorganized, staff lacked professionalism, and there was very little focus on the actual students. There were repeated issues with confidentiality, communication, and failure to follow proper procedures or court paperwork.Despite both households specifically informing the school that information was not to be shared between us, the nurse repeatedly called me regarding my stepdaughter’s siblings on their mother’s side and would share information from conversations she had with their mom. This created unnecessary conflict and showed a complete lack of respect for privacy and confidentiality.The school also failed to properly verify identities during pickup. Staff repeatedly attempted to have me pick up children I was not authorized to pick up, even after being clearly told multiple times that I was not on their emergency contact list and was not to handle pickups for that side of the family. There were also concerns about court-ordered paperwork not being followed correctly.The office staff seemed unfamiliar with both district policies and basic state education and court-related procedures. Communication was inconsistent, staff were often rude, and there was little accountability when concerns were brought up. After dealing with ongoing issues and lack of professionalism, we ultimately decided to pull our children from this school.
