I dislike the staff at this school. There is no communication between parents and school staff. I’ve requested on several occasions to have thier staff contact me about any issues with my children and they don’t do it. My oldest son attended this school and had so many issues, but now that he is in middle school he’s doing so much better. My other son that is now attending this school has speech development issues and is not receiving the attention he needs at school. There is only so much I can do with him at home. They send my 5 year old home with messages to tell me, even though he has speech development issues. I can not understand the reasoning behind thier thought process. I’ve spoken to the vice principle and have gotten insincere apologies. It’s frustrating. I’m hoping that one of my complaints will be heard. When I speak to the staff it’s like their eye glaze over and they stop listening to what I am trying to say. I feel that I will have to take this issue up with the state. I also feel that when I bring my concerns up about that their staff to their attention they retaliate and take it out on my children. It’s not right to feel this way about a public school. I feel my children deserve better. The school needs the state to come in and evaluate all of thier processes.

This a large and very welcoming school with food that is the same as most other public schools here- You can’t really rate the school badly because of it.
Other than that, we had a great experience with our child’s teacher, Mrs.Pope. We can tell she is passionate about our children’s education. She is strict but indefinitely caring!
