Open Quote Teachers of my 2nd grader and Kindergartener were wonderful, however the administration leaves much to be desired. For the amount of funding the school receives due to military students, very few classroom tools/manipulatives are available. Additional resources to implement IEP/special requirements are extremely difficult to get implemented even when required by law. 24 students in my 2nd graders classroom this year. The rumor is that the school is to be getting an additional 300 students for the 09-10 school year and class sizes will drastically increase! Close Quote
