What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, August 10, 2019

Terrible school I have no good things to say about this school. Not a lot of anything going on at this school. For such a small school there is no teacher parent communication. Teachers do not use classroom webpages. No before school programs or after school programs. Very unfriendly principal is not good at all. Very very few activities after school and for such a small school it feels very very unwelcoming for parents. Rude principal and staff. Close Quote
