Open Quote Staton was a great school, maybe. we are there now in the second year. It's utter crap. Administration is rude and self-absorbed. Parking and traffic is dangerous and hopeless. But worse of all, most of the teachers can hardly care to do a least a fair job of teaching their pupils. The principal is leaving this year, so thats a good thing, I guess the new one could only do a better job. So don't put your child in their hands, leave this school be. Close Quote
