What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, October 13, 2018

The administration is very disrespectful and dismissive towards any request and concern. The teacher literally acted as if I was not present until I said something to her. Then later in the event, she literally would not make eye contact. I asked for copies of test scores and detailed grades, she refused them. If your thinking this school will address all of your concerns and always treat you like a human beyond enrollment, they will not. Do not even get me started on the chaotic pick uplink where the lady yells at parents. Funny thing, they didnt realize it was us that considered information on enrollment (not bc we were going to enroll our other kids, just more for policy infornation), they send correspondence weekly attempting to enroll our other children. Absolutely not. Close Quote
