What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, December 2, 2018

The facility along with the principal aren’t engaged with their students, unless you are one of them...... My children have attended this school since 2007 -2018 and my personal experience hasn’t been pleasant at all during this time. This school lack diversity and empathy amongst it staffing from the top down.

The school testing scores are reflective of the leadership and school board that run this county. It’s sad that people we entrust to educate our children, do very little in this area of teaching. Close Quote
