School Reviews

I would caution readers to read carefully. The language the two negative parent reviews state is very strong and extreme. Saying "Teachers arent interested in children individually" implies that ALL teachers are like this. This sentence also lacks correct grammar. Using language that hits extremes like "always" and "never" is rarely good communication. People who have taken higher level coursework or communication classes know this as true. A parent may express that some teachers may not care, but it is unrealistic to state that all teachers are not interested in students. When I read these negative review I feel disappointed because my child's teacher really cares about her students. I can tell she is someone who cries over these students and takes their needs personally. Their worries and struggles keep her up at night. If one of these negative parents were to follow her around they would see this. I am sorry to those who had a negative experience, but please do not use extreme language when I know there are people who truly care about kids.

This is a great school! I don't at all agree with the other reviews. I have sent 3 children here and they have all received quality care and attention. Teachers regularly do what is best for the children.

Generally, most teachers of this school do not really care about students - they see them as a mass with which they have to work from-till. They do not provoke a thirst for curiosity nor knowledge, they mostly teach what is necessary for the district or state tests. On the first sight everything looks all right, but if you dig deeper, you would find many things unsatisfactory. Student labeling, prejudice, unfriendly atmosphere, unwilling to do something extra for the students (especially which does not count as a community or school work)... When my child asked an English teacher what to read she advised him to ask the peers! I could recommend a few great teachers, but they would not save the day.

Problems with bullying. School only cares about test scores. No imagination or nourishing environment for children. Overpopulated (16 classrooms for 512+ children? How is that normal). Teachers arent interested in children individually. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Took my child out.
