My children love the teachers and support staff. As a parent, I feel comfortable sending them to Allen and I am pleased with the growth my two daughters have shown in the past two years. Close Quote

I've had three children attend this school and would move out of the borders for it if that were possible. We've had trouble with bullies, teachers disciplining my child without discussing with me (sensitive matter), rules that not only change yearly but weekly regarding parents and their involvement in the child's education which is actually discouraged and made to be nearly impossible. My youngest will, hopefully, escape the misfortune of attending there. If the county won't let him be moved then I would rather pay for private elementary school than force him to attend this prison camp. Close Quote
