This school Is horrible. From the staff and the lack of manners they posses to the hazardous playground in the back, to the old nasty all purpose cafeteria/gym/auditorium. Very displeased with how the staff interact with parents, I will say I adore my child’s teacher and two other staff members. One assistant in the main office is very rude and unprofessional. The staff shows no common courtesy or kindness to parents entering the school no matter the reason and they just don’t seem to understand they are there to provide a kind, polite, non-hostile, positive environment and I can’t see them doing that for the kids if they aren’t doing this to the parents. They fund raisers every other week and there’s poor handling of district funding by the board. Trying my best to get my kid out of this district. It’s completely over rated and i’m Completely under whelmed. I was informed that this school went through a major over haul about 5 years ago and that they are still experiencing growing pains, well it shows and this school has a long way to go. It’s horrible completely horrible. Close Quote

Small elementary school in a close knit neighborhood. Small class sizes. Some of the greatest teachers that care about our kids. Large PTA with good family involvement throughout the year. Close Quote
