This school used to be so much better than it is right now. The current principal has no considerations for the children or teachers she is in charge of. She puts ridiculous, pointless, complicated policies in place then requires others to enforce them. She has no presence in this school and it is going downhill due to lack of an effective and caring leader. Close Quote

The school is out of control. Very poor leadership. Major bullying issues. This will be our last year as we plan on moving to private school. Close Quote

Went to back to school night and they don't even have a teacher yet for my daughters class. The principal is just as standoffish as she was last year. MoCo needs more options. Close Quote
