School Reviews

The kids have been going here for about a week now, and I can already see troubles in the near future. The teachers are great, the staff is great. But if you wait a minute too long in the car loop, then you will get yelled at. If you have to wait for another child in the loop at pick-up, then you will get yelled at. I was nearly hurried off without my youngest child getting in my car. My kids and I just transferred from a school nearby, and I have never seen such unprofessionalism for getting the kids to school. Please, Principal Munn, keep the kids safe but also keep account of the kids attending your school. Oh, and get there about 30 minutes early to drop off and about 45 minutes to pick up. I spoke with another parent this week, and I think that many would agree that the school needs another deputy to direct traffic coming from the stoplight. It really is a mess. Otherwise, there will be a 30-45 minute wait getting around the loop. I am strongly considering speaking to the District and withdrawing my children from this school if the hastiness continues.
