What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, November 4, 2015

The principal/superintendent and teachers are only concerned with their test scores. The teachers don't have time to make sure the kids understand everything. If they fall behind they just tell them the answers and go on. My kids would tell me they saw the kindergarten teacher and principal grab the kindergarteners and forcefully put them back in line if they weren't paying attention. My kids have also told me that their teachers would yell at them if they ask the same question more than once because they didn't understand. The teachers don't monitor what the kids are watching my child has told me of inappropriate music videos and movies they had watched while the teacher was "busy". I do not recommend this school at all!!! Someone should really check into them, I'm not even sure how they are still operating. Avoid this horrible place if at all possible!! Close Quote
