What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 11, 2013

I feel that if your child does not fit into the average mold...i.e. child has some difficulty learning or is not challenged enough, they may be labeled "problem child" for the teachers. I will be happy to have my child moving on to another school in the next year. Also, over the years, I have not found the principal to be that easy to get along with either. We are very supportive of teachers in general as they have a difficult job to do keeping every child on track and so many to care for at the same time, but I am trying to give an honest opinion of the school that we were told was superb in every aspect and we have found that not to be the case.
