Open Quote I have had nothing but problems since the first day of the 2012-2013 school year. My daughter's teacher was very rude to her and was on the border of bullying her. The problem was so bad that the principal felt the need to move my daughter out the that classroom and a few weeks later the teacher was fired. After moving to a new class a group of five students began bullying my daughter verbally and physically. My daughter reports the bullying to her teacher but all the teacher does is tell the children to stop, but that only makes it worse because on the way back to their seat the students will walk by my daughters seat call her the "B" word and smack her in the back of the head. A little boy tried to lure my daughter into the bathroom and when she reported that to the gym teacher he did nothing and told her to go home and tell her mom. The bullying has gotten so bad and the school has done nothing for so long that I have contacted the police. If you can avoid it please refrain from sending your children to this school. Don't take the first no you hear do your best to send them to swells point if you can. Close Quote
