This is not true this school is great the time I have been here it has always been great. I disagree this place is the best school yet, and I went to one of the states best for elementary. I'm a passing student with no special needs, but from an inside view the special needs kids are doing fine and are even more popular than usual.

Worst school ever! If your child has ADHD or just any issue in general that does not conform to administration desires, your child will fail. They are not consistent on any level, homework, communication, grading, etc... even bending over backwards to be involved to assist staff is seen as a problem in their actions. We are looking at other options.
