My children are bullied on a daily basis and after reporting to staff nothing has been done. Select few seem to be privledged and their behavior is overlooked because of who parents are. The curriculum is rigid, parents spend their entire evening after their long work day trying to teach and help with lessons that were assigned during the day. Children end up frustrated, crying and hate going to school. Such negativity implemented on a daily basis from every direction. I can't afford to send my children to private school on a single salary and wish I could home school. I feel like I am failing my kids but so is the education system.

While this is a good school, the office workers are very unfair to single mothers. There are six people I know personally that have suffered these womens wrath. It affects the child too. Play the women in the office very carefully or they will make your life really hard. And that flows over to the kids. In this day and time there are many single parents, yet it seems only the young single women are abused by these people. Its very unprofessional and awful for all invovled. They know who they are and I hope with all of my heart they read this. May God be with any single mother that walks into that office because they will need Gods help.
