Excellent teacher to student ratio school embraces military families. Close Quote

This school has the potential for being amazing. There are so many parents who want to be involved but unfortunately neither the administration nor the parent group provide a welcoming atmosphere for volunteers. I tried to help the PTA but was treated rudely, and not invited to come back once my hour slave time was done. If I am giving up of my time, I should think I would be treated nicely. And the Principal, when I asked if I could volunteer for the school....was told no. But I could help with the PTA. I know there are a lot of parents who have the time and energy, but most of us decided if they are so rude, then they can just do the work themselves. And if you are looking at this school.... check out how the test scores have plummeted over the past three years and what the current administration is doing to improve that. What is the Principal spending money on to improve academics? I see they bought a brand spankin' new electric marquee for the outside, but what have they bought to help the students learn? The teachers are amazing and caring, but there is only so much they can do with the administration they have, and the limited resources. I find it sad when my student says that her teacher wants a pencil sharpener for Christmas, that would be a luxury! Close Quote

The Pre-school and Kindergarten teachers were great. There were a couple teachers that were rude and stuck up! The PTC is a joke, very very clicky and rude. The principle is HORRIBLE!!!! Will NEVER EVER allow one of my children to attend that school again! I would rather home school! Close Quote
