School Reviews
| 1 10/13/2020 School is terrible to students with special needs. My son has ADHD. His first grade teacher yelled at him every day. She was nice and accommodating during parent/teacher conferences, but then bullied him during class. It got to where he said he didn't want to live anymore because he couldn't do anything right. - Posted by Parent - Anna |
| 1 2/10/2020 This school is horrible. Hasn't updated their school website in 2 years. Whenever you want to know about an event or calendar, they just tell you to check Facebook... I don't have a Facebook so I guess I can't be involved. No real circular activities for the kids. Low test scores, teachers are not even friendly. - Posted by Parent - ashley |
