What people are saying
by a parent
Sunday, February 22, 2015

Open Quote The experience my children had at this school was traumatic to say the least. It's one thing to be bullied by students. But to be bullied by the staff is abhorrent. The Principal only sticks up for her staff, and never for the students. The parents are looked down upon and often disregarded. It's all politics in that front office. Now that my children have moved on to another elementary school, they have flourished and found moments of success and pride. That's the way elementary school is supposed to be! Additionally, at our new school, as a parent, I am appreciated. I gave this school two stars because there is at most three great teachers at this school. The rest, including the administration, well, their intentions are purely political and never for the sake of the students. Close Quote
