What people are saying

Thursday, March 31, 2016

This school has some really amazing teachers, unfortunately its administrations is abysmal. The principle has no interest in the children's well being or their academic growth or success. They love the fact that they get extra funding because they have lot of military children attending but don't actually value them. I hate that my children are forced to finish the year here, but grateful to the few teachers who are striving for better. Close Quote
