I would not rely solely on the commercials or promotional materials. In my experience, several claims made about the school do not match reality.The advertised computer center is not available as presented, and I have never seen the drone safety program that has been promoted. Teacher turnover is extremely high, with some teachers leaving during the school year, and even in the middle of the day.Teacher salaries are low, and there appear to be few opportunities for meaningful pay increases. At the same time, classroom teachers often struggle to obtain basic supplies and resources needed for students. Class sizes are very large, which creates additional challenges for both teachers and students.Staff support is limited, and there seems to be little accountability from upper management. Behavioral issues can be significant, making it difficult to maintain a productive learning environment.If you are considering enrolling your child, I encourage you to ask questions about teacher qualifications, certification status, classroom size, student support services, and staff retention. Parents should do their research and make sure the school is the right fit for their child.Overall, my experience was disappointing, and I believe there are serious issues that need to be addressed

they gave us assigned seats in lunch. i don’t get it, whats the point of taking our only communication time. “to be successful” to be successful in what..? eating..? what about being successful in mental health? why can’t they just change the people to have trouble the most, why do we have to suffer just because of what other people did, this school is so stupid, they wonder why they have bad ratings , kids who cut themselves, and have a bad mental it’s because of this dumb school. they think these assemblies will help everything, they know it doesn’t thats why they have them every year. im so tired of this school they have rats and roaches, they pretend to be the best school ever but no, its just teaching kids how to do whatever they want, they think yelling and being mad with fix everything but no, actually TALK to the kids instead of yelling and screaming, its my last year here thank god. i’ve been here since kindergarten and trust me. your on your own after 4th grade here.

I love the teachers at this school. They make learning fun and my son can't wait to go to school each day.

Their pick up and drop off routine is extremely dangerous. I see kids nearly getting hit almost everyday. They have 3 lanes of car traffic and expect the kids from the far and middle lane to bob and weave thru traffic and depending on all cars to be paying attention. That’s not realistic. There should be one lane of cars. This will eliminate confusion and prevent kids from getting hurt or killed! They also don’t handle unruly kids disrupting the classroom appropriately. Rather than remove 1 disruptive child from the class room they make 20+kids leave the classroom “for their safety”. They stop educating 20+kids over 1 kid having a meltdown. Then when a child is actually injured in the midsts of the meltdown and the child makes known they got hurt not one teacher checked the child or made a phone call to the parent their was an incident in the classroom. At this point educating and keeping kids safe is not a top priority. Yelling at parents and kids in the mornings for not wearing masks or not staying in what they think are magic yellow lines in the parking lot is their top priority.

A security guard at this location requested for a locksmith service for a student after being there for several minutes he came back said didn’t need the service refuse to pay any service fee on top of that went on the business website and left a bad review. I wouldn’t send my kids here
