School has the worst faculty and administrative staff with the worst communication skills I have ever seen. Teachers seem alright, but the school is suffering and it shows.
4 10/10/2025
Last year the teacher my son had was nice bit a bit disorganized. I feel like my son backslided a little because he was further ahead in his other school. This year his teacher is a lot better. The staff is nice. Their websites for lunch and absent reporting don't seem to work for me.
