My sister (and a lot of my friends) went to this school and they had a great time here. This school some of the finest in the community. Close Quote

Thursday, July 11, 2019

I had a very, very poor experience with this school when my daughter attended. The librarian at the time humulated my child to an alarming extent, she was bullied for the remainder of the year over it. My daughter went to the teacher crying after a bunch girls drew her a mean picture making fun of her (9 girls signed it) and the teacher called her a "tattle tale". My 7 year old became a different person after that year. I dealt with staff over this and no one seemed to care that she was isolating herself and was developing an anxiety disorder. As soon as we moved out of state I had my child back. She's doing great in her new school, has plenty of friends and is well liked by her peers . I could go on for hours about this, but just know that the staff seemed to think they were above my parenting and really just made me feel like I was crazy. My daughter is 11 and she recalls that year as the worst of her life. The librarian did apologize, and she was repremanded at a meeting we had. It still shouldn't have happened. Close Quote
