The school could use some staff rotation, its a good enviroment otherwise.

Great support for students, faculty and staff. Principal and vice principal truly make you feel every one is important and the teachers are professionals that believe every child can learn.

Its funny how this school is a highly rated on Google, because in reality it deserves 0 stars. First and foremost, in this day and age, and political climate, it is unacceptable to hear a child refer to another child of another race as the N word. And what hurts more, is that the child who unleashed those words, wasn't punished outside of sitting in the front office all day. On a personal note, my son was pretty much pushed to side, and called unteachable halfway through the school year. The teacher said that "There is nothing else we can do" but remember, this is halfway through the school year. Our son was removed from that environment, and he is flourishing now in a brand new school with teachers who are making sure that he is up to speed. No child should come home from school everyday sad and downing themselves because they are made to feel unwanted at a school. The art of teaching is making sure that no child is left behind. This world is hard enough to latch on to, and a very good quality education is the only way to make a positive footprint in society.

Teachers are great. However whoever they have handling calls in the front office is very rude and unprofessional. Talks to parents like they are stupid when they ask questions. Always gives an I don't know answer instead of figuring out the answer to the problem or finding someone one who can help. Will be calling school board.
