ZERO STARS. We’ve turned in numerous incidents to the staff via phone calls, text messages and email concerning bullying… yet nothing has been done. In fact, the principal acknowledged that he can not guarantee safety for the children under his supervision. The same principal doesn’t send his own kids to the school he is principal at. The end resolution, the principal agreed to have my child attend a partial day in which she is attending 3rd grade classes (shes in 2nd grade) because that teacher is able to keep her safe.
I normally keep pretty quiet. But it seems the sleeping giant has been awoken. I’d love any of you who have kids… or know my kids… or just don’t like bullying… to reach out to the administration of this school and tell them to address bullying. This school advertises that they’ve had ZERO issues with bullying for the school year… when in fact a child in Kids class was bullying another child and broke his arm. I guess they failed to report that?
This place is a joke and needs new administration.

** Update on this review… **
I met with the Mr. Timothy Baggs and his supervisor the superintendent Mr. Wagner after I had contacted channel 9 regarding the bullying. Channel 9 was interested in doing a story but was refused comment by the school. Strangely enough the school wanted to help at that point.

In the meeting they vigorously denied that any bullying ever occurred and only insisted that they were doing everything possible. The meeting was a joke, the entire administration is ran by folks that don’t know what they’re doing. I’ve met more than a dozen parents who’s 2nd and 3rd graders can’t read. I spent a day in a class room and is chaos. Kids climbing file cabinets, climbing in windows, jumping off desks…

This place needs closed down. I was lucky enough to move my child to a different school this year after watching them Do literally nothing to help my child. I hope the other parents can do the same and get their children into good and effective schools.

I am so piss about this school!! I try to give them the benefit of doubt due to a lot of parents complaining about their children learning skills being so low. My 2 youngest have been going to this school since kindergarten and this year they are in second grade and my oldest is in 5th grade. My 8 year old child that’s in 2nd grade DOES NOT know how to read!! It broke my heart because now I see what these parents are talking about. WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING OUR KIDS?!!! MY CHILD IS 8 AND CAN’T READ?!! THAT HURTS!! THEY ARE NOT TEACHING THEM ANYTHING!!! NADA!!! I was even told by my 8 year old that the principal had put his hands on him numerous of times! I brought it to the principle’s attention and he denied it, but of course I believe my child. And today I told my son he need to go to his after school tutoring. My oldest called me and stated that the principal grabbed him out of tutoring without giving a reason why. I talk to the principle on the phone asking why and yes I was piss. He stated that the reason he pulled him out is because he fell asleep in class this morning. NOW WHY NOT CALL ME TO GET MY CONSENT ON IF THAT WAS OK OR NOT!! WHY WOULDN’T YOU ASK THE PARENT IF THATS OKAY?! WHY TAKE A CHILD OUT OF TUTORING KNOWING THEY NEED IT?! ITS NOT RECESS! ITS NOT A FUN PROGRAM! IT’S TUTORING!!! I WAS SO PISS!! I am going to take my kids out of this school. Starting tomorrow I will be looking to relocate them. It hurt my heart literally when I witnessed my sons lack of reading I am hurt that I thought this was a great school but coming to find that it was a waste of my children’s time of learning knowing there is better schools out here that’s willing to teach these kids. These parents are right they really are there for the check and it’s sad COMPLETELY SAD!!!

I wish I could give this school 0 stars! This is the worst school I’ve ever experienced. They take more days off than any other school and to piggy-back off of other comments on here, they DO NOT teach your children anything! My son is in the second grade and after their 1st winter break, their teacher quit. Typically, a sub would come in until the job was filled but not this school. They were sending 2nd graders to kindergarten classes! Of course they wouldn’t tell the parents this was going on. In September, I was deeply concerned about the class being chaotic every time I would call to speak to their teacher so invoiced my concern to Tim Baggs the principal. He sounds very caring and concerned over the phone and you truly believe he’s going to investigate. He even said give me a couple of days and he will follow back up with me. Took down all my phone numbers. NEGATIVE! It’s February, and I still haven’t heard from him. I had to threaten them by saying if someone do not call me by 12pm (in January) I would involved their Boss Mr.Wagoner the superintendent. Received a call at 8am! I can go on and on about how horrible this school is. My advice, send your child to a school where the faculty actually care. I’m moving out of this district to send my child to a better school. This school is a joke. If they don’t want to change the faculty, it should be shut down! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL
