School Reviews
1 3/30/2020
This school is a joke. They do not communicate with you when your child has been injured. You have to hear it from your child when they get home. The zero tolerance to bullying is not enforced. They protect the bully and punish the victim. No real consequences happen. They enable the bully and refuse to help your child by asking what the victim did to encourage the bully. They shame the victim much in the way people shame sexual assault victims by telling them maybe they shouldn't have done something to set the other child off. They do not send documentation home for the events so you, as the parent, have proof of what went on with evidence to back your claim when you try to change their school. Avoid this school at all costs.
