Very unhappy with this school. Principal is not actively involved and it appears that the vice principal runs the show. She is very friendly, but does not take care of student matters seriously. Everything is told to hug it out and it will be okay. Sugar coat every thing. No discipline when there is a problem. Communication is also a problem at this school. Never know of things until last minute. Nothing comes home. One email a week that is too long to read. Like garbage spam mail. Very unhappy with this school and will be reassigning next year because administration is the worst i have encountered with all my children. Most teachers are very nice and friendly. Some not personable, but good at the things they teach. Homework is very excessive. Lots of reading and test to take. Soemtimes homework is 3 hours. Too much!! Kids need to have time to be kids and to play too. Overall I would not send my kid here again unless I had no other options. Close Quote
