Word of advise from MANY parents and teachers alike, do not send your child to this school! Its not safe, everyone seems to turn a blind eye on the behaviors that go on in this school. My son was beat up 3 times in his own class within 2 days, NOTHING WAS DONE! And they wanted to send him BACK to that class! Principal is EXTREMELY rude and unfriendly! Teachers for the most part are WONDERFUL but we are losing them left and right due to the ongoing problems at this school and how they are treated by the principal! Research this school VERY HARD before you consider allowing your child to attend!!!!!
