What people are saying

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

I have been overall dissatisfied in my experience with this school. I have had numerous issues concerning some of their teachers and bullying in the 5th grade class. I have had a few conferences, correspondence through email and a few phone conversations, but to no avail. Finally, after complaining all year, my daughter was moved to another class... with only a few weeks left in the school year. I will be so glad to get her out of this school! If you are anything like me and truly care about your child's education, try to get a waiver for a different elementary school or be prepared to teach your children at home if you want them to actually learn anything!
