I would not recommend the school I have a daughter that goes to the school and when there's an issue and I need to talk to her teacher she never calls me back and then when I called the school they never called me back either. and when my daughter gets on the bus people go flying past her bus and do not stop what she's getting on and the school does nothing about it. Her bus was hit at her bus stop so now she scared she's going to get an accident all the time on the bus and no one is doing anything about it but me what a great school Not. I thought it was the schools job to keep our children safe I guess I was wrong. Close Quote
