I would not recommend this school would give it lower stars if I could I was very glad when I left this school.
2 5/30/2011
Too much parental involvement. Faculty will not discipline the children at all. Parents have more homework than the students. The principal tries to control the parents, not the children. terrible school. Also air quality outside the school is questionable, and parents not notified by the principal. But was notified about my child having a pencil in the wrong hand and putting lunch tray in wrong spot when emptying it. An issue almost every day comes up.
