This school sucks and they don’t teach anything helpful to the student

Posted by a community member on 9/13/2026

They never answer the phones. This school is too far out in the country to not answer any phone calls! No matter what extension I select, it redirects me to the automated system. Very unprofessional and annoying!

This school dosent care about anyone!!!! They suspend you for something you didn’t even do even if you show proof. I’m happy I’m at Chestnut Oaks now.

Can't get anyone to help my son on home bound disability at this new school this year!? I had to go to the district to help me get his work established and it's been over a month and still no help from this school?! They won't even call back after leaving message after message!

It’s crazy to me that they have water fountains but keep them off. Students are limited to the water bottle they bring but if they drink what they have they then have to go without. My daughter spilled her water bottle in the car in the way to school and you’d think I was actually asking for their kidney with the nasty attitude the front desk gave when I called and told them to make sure she gets her bottle filled up. The way they treated the situation makes me feel they’d rather my 6 year old go without water all day than page the teacher and ask for water. If you can’t give the students water when needed than turn on the damn fountains and stop preventing these children the basic need of drinking water
