What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, May 6, 2022

This school was given many broken promises. My children didn't do STEM the entire time they were there because of the high teacher turnover(more than 6 teachers before christmas.) The car line was always an hour wait - although they kept promising it gets better, it never did. Unless you were one of those who parked an hour before dismissal. The principal does not value the parents of the students due to the very much lack of communication with what is going on. The nurse does not even call you until your child has been 3+ times in the same day. They treat this school as a prison. Taking recess from the whole class for lunch time behavior between a few students. There is NO library, NO gym, NO lockers. Kids peeing on themselves because they aren't allowed to go to the restroom outside a specific time. There wasn't even enough desks for the kids to start the year. The school is overcrowded and the carline definitely shows it. There was also some bullying but that is everywhere unfortunately.. although it didn't seem as the administration was doing anything to help fix it for those families. The principal is very MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY and extremely rude! We were promised smaller classrooms 15:1 , my child had 32 in her class!! and my other child 27!!! Do not fall for these empty promises and go to this school. You WILL be disappointed. Close Quote
