We've had a great experience with this school. The teachers have been awesome and my child engaged! Close Quote

My daughter is about to finish her first year here as a kindergartner. We have had nothing but great experiences with the school, Principal Parker, and her teacher Ms. Hanna. We have to move this summer and I am still thinking about keeping her in this school and just driving her there. My daughter could not read before kindergarten and now she reads fluently. Any discipline issues were handled fairly and quickly. This is a great school Close Quote

After my child (kindergartener) informed me of being bullied, I immediately addressed the situation. The teacher seemed very cooperative to help restore my child's faith in the school and contacted the principal in regards to the matter at hand. However, the principal was not so cooperative. She cornered my child, told her that the whole bully thing was a dream, and contacted me only after the interrogation of my child had been had. She informed me that my child retracted her statements of being bullied when my 6 year old said "maybe, I don't know!" After speaking to my child, my child said she asked for me, was scared of the principal, and knows it happened, but was being cornered by the principal and her bully to retract her statement. It was only after she was in tears and forced to say it all happened in a dream that she was released back to class and I was notified of the occurance! Needless to say, this school has NO anti-bullying policy beside to make the victim feel like they have nobody to turn to at this school. The whole time during the conversation with the principal, she was rude, laughed at the situation, and told me to handle my child. Shame on this school!!! Close Quote
