What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, August 2, 2012

There are a LOT of students and a great deal of stress on the teachers to keep up with large class sizes. Kindergarten classes are moved from room to room throughout the day which can cause a lot of confusion for a child trying to adjust to school for the first time. Children have a tendancy to get less interaction with their teachers and can struggle and be left behind when they don't get the opportunity to have a more in depth relationship with the teacher. It is not a bad school, just a very full and I feel overcrowded school with a lack of the chance for teachers to really know their students needs. Close Quote
