Very poor administration over the last 5 yrs. Superintendent should have done something about it but left. Administrator bullies staff, parents and children. Staff is scared of administration. 1st grade wing has serious issues worst than high schoolers. Very vindictive team. 2nd grade staff are mature and excellent teachers-the only plus there.
