What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, December 15, 2016

The staff is very unprofessional and inexperienced. Everything they do is unorganized, its like they just think of things to do without putting any real thought into them. This is a new nice looking school but the staff is very poor. Not all staff but majority of them are there just to collect a check it seems. If you have another school that your child can attend, I would suggest you go to a different school because the staff including the current principal do not seem to take a lot of things serious concerning the children. They are probably OK as people but poor doing their job when it comes to these children. BEWARE of this school and the North Little Rock School district Close Quote
