This school is completely unorganized and the staff does NOT communicate with one another. There is a complete disregard for children’s safety and privacy.

I was in a nasty custody battle with my ex-husband and was awarded full custody by the court.

I contacted the school administration to let them know that I would be bringing a copy of the court records and to not let the noncustodial parent have access to their records, nor was he allowed to pick them up any more. I was promised that they would not by a school attendant, and that they would wait to the end of business next day they were open, (which was a Monday during the summer months) to get the copy of the court order.

Monday morning comes, and before I can make it to the school at 8 am, my ex husband shows up requesting their shot records and report cards and he was actually given copies after I was PROMISED that he would NOT get anything, and no one at the at the school thought to say this doesn’t sound right. Why would a custodial parent need shot records….Well NO DUH.. a custodial parent always has access to that information and would NEVER need to go to the school for a copy of it.

I was completely flabbergasted that the school officials including the principal Krystal Hawks made an excuses afterwards saying, “well he came at 8 am before you so we didn’t have the court document yet, so we gave him what he asked for”.

This is truly disgusting since I was told my the school attendant on that Thursday afternoon before they closed for the weekend during the summer months that their records would not be released to the non-custodial parent and that they would wait till the end of business the following Monday for the records. Also, I was promised by the school attendant that they would let the attendance clerk know, and that their records would be notated.

I’ve officially decided not to enroll my children back in this school, and I tell all parents BEWARE of the front office breakdown of communication. This was NOT the first time they screwed up, this was just the time that the straw broke the camels back!

Not the school for your kid if they have health/mental health issues that require staff to know how to interact with these cases. Having a child that takes meds and being in a classroom with unexperienced teachers and a staff with no compassion made this a horrible school year. They allowed bullying to happen with no intervention except to single out the child that was bullied time and time again. Principal never returns calls and my child begin to not like going to school because he noticed he was being stereotyped because of his disability. The office staff had no sensitivity of talking private information in front of other parents….I’m glad WE are done with this school!

My experience there was terrible they were the worst years of my life the kids are bullies the teachers are mean and the place is dirty I saw a cockroach in the classroom 2 times and the kids there fight and swear it’s just terrible
