The school used to be wonderful. The past two school years under the current administration has allowed a rapid decline in the integrity of the school . My children are miserable and sometimes fearful due to the lack of discipline and structure. Hoping for a positive change in administration for the 2017/18 school year or we may need to move our children elsewhere.
