This school is the worst. Seriously behind in progressive teaching practices. Administration and teachers lack empathy, understanding and knowledge regarding educating children. The “in crowd” runs this school so if you are not a part of that group, be prepared for feeling like an outsider and bullying. It took me YEARS to undo the psychological damage this school did on my child and catch my child back up academically to where they belong. Avoid this school. Close Quote
