by a parent
Saturday, July 5, 2025

This school was terrible for my kids, especially my second grade daughter. Both, the teachers and staff are extremely rude and treat students like garbage. They encourage them to hide situations from parents and create an atmosphere of fear to the physical punishment. The administration will do nothing about it. This school destroyed my daughter's love for the school. Close Quote
