Posted by a parent on 3/27/2026With the schools new renovations and new principle Mr mcnear i feel like this school has gone above and beyond.

Posted by a parent on 2/7/2025My autistic son attended the school for less than two months, and I had to remove him. There is no type of discipline or structure in the school principal vice principal. Everyone in the school has very poor communication.. My 10 year old unfortunately is still there. I fear for his safety every day
Posted by a parent on 11/13/2023My FIRST GRADER was CHOKED in the bathroom stall by another first grader. The child was already a problem and was left to go by herself, where she took that opportunity to hurt my kid. The schools response? Oopsie, we will have a monitor with her now. Cool my child has contusions on her neck now tho
