8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis has been a horrible experience! The teacher and principal take no responsibility or accountability. From not teaching the lessons to falsified grades. The assignments the students are given are well below their grade level.The substitute demonstrates corporal discipline on the students.Parent Review6mo ago - Larry G Smith Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am currently a student here, and I would just like to say that I love the education here I love the outdoor program and the camping trips we go on and I love the teachers so much. They are the most helpful people on earth. I love the playgrounds that we get to play on and I think the homework has really helped me learn how to manage my time at home better, and I feel like overall I am just a better person because of this school.I hope that I can keep going here for years to come.Student Review1y ago
