What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, December 7, 2012

Avoid this school if at all possible. My son went from being an honor roll student at a different school, to now barely making passing grades.
The staff is rude and unhelpful. There is no interaction between the school and the parents. If you call and ask for any information they either don't know or tell you it will be sent home in a flyer at some point.
My son started this school and was so far advanced in his reading that when they were seperated into groups for reading time he had to be by himself. That seems like a punishment for being exceptional. It does not make a child want to learn, and now he is barely at grade level expectations when just last year they were talking about skipping him a grade?
Bottom line is they don't care, the school is dirty and there is no heat in many of the classrooms. Avoid this place at all costs. Close Quote
