What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, August 12, 2016

Outdated teaching methods, poor communication between teachers and parents, and a good portion of the teachers that have been there for many (many) years lack the technological ability to teach and prepare our children for the future... as well as the energy, care and compassion to do so. And, at the top sits an ineffective principal with no leadership abilities. Close Quote
