What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, September 22, 2020

The Principal here does not listen to parents concerns nor does she even address your questions. This can be extremely frustrating as a parent since she’s the one who holds the power to make positive chances based on parental feedback. The only thing I’ve successfully seen her do for the 2nd year in a row now is boss her teachers and staff around while she continues to stay not involved. However, with everything being said my experience with teachers and staff has been great. My kiddos have enjoyed going here. I wish the principle could get on board it would create an absolutely amazing school. Close Quote
