This school has very dedicated, positive teachers and an awesome principal! Very, very supportive and our children are thriving here. Don't understand the low rating. Close Quote

The teachers and the principal are not consistent and the children are not having fun at all. The music program was cut and now they only have art. Music is condusive to learning and art is not. The music teacher put on a production of K-3 last year that had these children singing and dancing in sync, all of them smiling and having a great time together. There was probably 100+ students involved, yet the music teacher was told she could not teach.
I purchased extra supplies for my son's class but I have went in twice only to find my son has pencils that are not sharp, have teeth marks, no erasers, and he is not allowed to even ask to get up and sharpen his pencil. The teacher takes up the pencils daily and puts them back out in the mornings yet she does not take the time to actually inspect them.
I know my son is not perfect but I also know he hates going to school because he does not get any positive words or encouragement he only gets berated and yelled at.
I am disappointed in my experience with the public education sytem and I am looking for a private school that will work with my child not against him. Close Quote

I am a step parent of an upcoming 3rd grader. I took notice to him reading Ramen noodle cooking instructions. I asked for him to come sit at the computer to do a reading assessment test and he scored low first grade. Three and four letter words he struggled. Please take heart in all our students. In my opinion I feel as though he was passed to suffice your overall school rating. Close Quote
