Open Quote So far, not impressed at all. Was given wrong school bus info by the school bus office. They acted as if spending 25 minutes in a cold windy weather with a 5 year old was no big deal. Reached out to assistant principal and received no response. Terrible place. My child is going there simply because my wife insists on it. Close Quote
